Talk and Tales of Black Girl Magic

In this all new episode of It Sure is a Beautiful Day we get to meet CaShawn Thompson, the woman who coined the phrase “Black Girls are Magic” that eventually became the movement: #BlackGirlMagic. She has written the foreward for a brand new book out today from the Rebel Girls series, “Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Real-life Tales of Black Girl Magic.” Catt and Cawshawn are joined by journalist Lilly Workneh who edited the book and who reminds us that “You can’t be what you can’t see.” The women discuss the importance of fair, accurate, uplifting representation of black women and girls.
