About Black Girl MagicCaShawn Thompson, a proud third-generation
native of Washington, DC, came up with the concept "Black Girls Are
Magic" when she was a little girl growing up with her mother,
grandmother, and aunts. It sprang forth fully formed from the mind of a
poor little Black girl who didn't yet have the words to describe the
brilliance she saw in the women in her family, but had heard countless
tales of fairies, witches, and magicians. It was just magic to her. And
it still is.
Black Girls Are Magic became wildly popular in 2013 after CaShawn began
using the phrase online (it was later shortened to the hashtag
#BlackGirlMagic) to uplift and praise the accomplishments, beauty, and
other amazing qualities of Black women.
