Dear Black Girl, You’re More Than Magic
To the Black women who make room for everyone else. This is the moment we make room for you. This is reverence. This is gratitude. This is the truth Black women deserve to hear without hesitation.

Black Girl Magic is beautiful, but it has never told the whole story. You are more than what the world calls you when it wants your brilliance but not your boundaries. So this piece is a Black man’s prayer for Black women. 🙏🏾
