In this episode, I chat with four phenomenal women about what #BlackGirlMagic means, who has it, the obstacles black girls face in realizing and expressing their magic and why #BlackGirlMagic is relevant today. Many thanks to all of the beautiful people who helped make this possible, especially all the phenomenal women sprinkling #BlackGirlMagic all over the world.
