Through a collection of essays and critical analyses, this text explores the offline lived experiences of Black femmes, girls, and women, and how they foster community, counters invisibility, engage in restorative acts, and create spaces for freedom.
From the Foreword, “Hashtag or trademark, personal or collective expression, #BlackGirlMagic is the articulation of the resolve and persistence of Black women and girls to triumph in the face of intersectional oppressions.”
