Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Girl is a term of endearment between Black women that has always been present in my life.

I built up a network of Black friends in London, and the hashtag #BlackGirlMagic began to spread. #3 Now, in the age of Black Girl Magic, we are owning the expansiveness of blackness and its intersection with womanhood. #4 Black Girl Magic is not just about the side-eyes and roller-skating we tend to get, but about the positive affirmation and show of unity it has become in our age of outrage
