Black girl magic is sweeping the nation and it seems to have grabbed the attention and support of every black women it passes by. The term, ‘Black Girl Magic,’ represents the love and appreciation of everything little thing about being African American. This can range from our kinky hair to the melanin that gives us our beautiful shades of brown. Not only does it promote self-love but it also celebrates the potential, the power, and the ability of black women to achieve anything. Celebrities such as Solange Knowles, Serena Williams, Zendaya, Traci Ellis and many more proudly take part in the movement. Skai Jackson states “I would have to define black girl magic as just being empowering, being confident and loving yourself; Just all coming together and definitely embracing each other.”

I think Black Girl Magic is great! For so many decades black women have been the most disadvantaged and oppressed group of people. They were always taught that their hair and dark skin was unfavorable in this world. However, ‘Black Girl Magic’ has  given women the pride to walk with their chin high, and their kinky crown standing upright.
