Black Girl Magic 🪄🎆has entered the chat! Consider us a Black Girl Fan Page 🫶🏿🫶🏾🫶🏽🫶🏼🫶🏻 Let's celebrate Black girl magic in all its forms...

Black Girl Magic means many different things to many different people, but maybe we can simply define it as the resolve of Black women and girls to triumph in the face of structural oppression. These three words are a celebration of the resilience, strength, and beauty of Black girls and women, who have overcome countless obstacles and continue to inspire and uplift others. As a society, we need to acknowledge and celebrate the power and potential of Black girls, and recognize the vital role they play in shaping our future. Black women and girls are the backbone of their communities, often taking on roles of leadership and responsibility from a young age. Unapologetic in their pursuit of their dreams and refusing to be held back by societal expectations — Black (women and) girls are trailblazers, creating their own paths and shattering stereotypes along the way. Simply put BLACK GIRLS ARE MAGICAL. 

Now let’s get one thing straight “magic” is not to say that Black women are mythical or superhuman. This magic is a very different: magic in realness, in love, and the way we rally around one another in the face of institutional oppression. This magic is not sorcery or the supernatural, but what Black women can achieve each and every day as a million little revolutions, and a million little acts of defiance, that say you belong here. It is magic against the very real injustices faced every day: survival; more likely to be killed at almost three times the rate of white women, yet without headlines appealing for change. More likely to die giving birth, and the most suspended of any student group in the USA. And suspended for what? For how they wear their hair, for how they dress, by asking questions. Even in the workplace, there is both antiblackness and sexism to navigate: misogynoir. 

Despite these challenges, #BlackGirlMagic is conjured each and every day in a million different ways: through hair, writing, painting, poetry, dance, performance, fashion and dress, culture and history, music, and even speech. The Black experience is often narrated as a struggle, Black Girl Magic challenges that by exploring the joy, amplifying these voices and stories, and changing the narrative.

But we cannot do this without YOU: so POST your favorite depictions of Black Girl Magic, no matter how big, no matter how small. We want it all: the extraordinary and the everyday.

I love imagining how Doctors would deal with each other's companions. 11 and Rose? Silly babies full of giggles! 13 and Bill? Gay overload, my heart would be theirs! 12 and Amy? A Scottish duo that would decimate me and then snog me to death! 10 and Clara? They would be so warm, I would melt. 9 and Donna? Holy. Shit.

favorite scene from every episode: 2.03 Return to Omashu

staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront. I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.

Survival Myths That Could Do More Harm Than Good.

Hi could you do one where Yaz, Bill, and Ryan have more in Common than traveling with the Doctor

“So, like… you’re into grime, then?” Ryan asked, his eyes widening in awe at the prospect. “Cos that’s super uncommon in most girls, I mean… Yaz doesn’t even know what grime is.”

“I do so,” Yaz shot back, frowning good-naturedly at him. “Stop making out that I’m super uncool.”

“You are super uncool,” he reminded her fondly, reaching over and ruffling her hair. “Like, totally and completely uncool. But I bet Bill isn’t. Are you, Bill?”

“I dunno,” she gave a nervous little laugh and a half-shrug. “I’m a bit of a nerd, but yeah, grime is sick. I reckon we could get Yaz into it, what do you say? Couple of nights out…”

“Oh god,” Yaz groaned. “I’ll just prepare for a hangover now, shall I?”
