100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic in my hands! 🙌🏾 All 240 pages of it, filled with stories & illustrations of barrier-breaking Black women from the past and present. ✨

Feels surreal & awesome to finally hold this work of art, created by Black women from cover to cover. 🙌🏾

"It was important that we define Black girl magic as something that all Black women and girls just are,” says Workneh. “It's not something that you have to achieve or have or acquire or have to reach a certain level or status to exemplify."
