Black Girl Magic
Black Girl Magic: A Poem | Mahogany L. Browne
13 posts | 14 read | 16 to read
Black Girl, they say you ain't 'posed to be here Much of what twenty-first century culture tells black girls is not pretty: Don't wear this; don't smile at that. Don't have an opinion; don't dream big. And most of all, don't love yourself. In response to such destructive ideas, internationally recognized poet Mahogany Browne challenges the conditioning of society by crafting an anthem of strength and magic undeniable in its bloom for all beautiful Black girls. She has travelled the world sharing her vision of Black Girl Magic, and now in collaboration with artist Jess X. Snow, presents her acclaimed tribute in a visual form. Black Girl Magic is a journey from girlhood to womanhood and an invitation to readers to find magic in themselves.

This is a beautiful poem filled with real life points and a reminder to all the little black girls put there that they are magic. Black Girl Magic is full of love (self love and communal love) and charm. Illustrations are gorgeous. Definitely recommended, especially as a read aloud.

I read it over and over and over, and when my girls are older I hope to read it with them and talk about the privilege of their white skin.

These were my favorite pages as far as the illustrations. I love the hands lovingly plaiting her hair while delivering empowering words.

PictureandBook Oh cannot wait to get to this one. 6y

Browne‘s poem takes on the destructive advice of society and reminds black girls of their power, intellect, beauty, strength, and magic.

“But you tell them
You are more than
A hot comb and
A wash ‘n‘ set

You are Kunta Kinte‘s kin

You are a
BLACK GIRL
Worth
Remembering...”
