Reblog If A Fictional Female Character Has Positively Influenced Your Life

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.

Hi guys, i had the idea for this big project. Creating a guide  of recommended episodes with the help of you Whovians to rank episodes by categories, to help new viewers, to have a list when we don’t know which episodes to watch and also for fun! I know that a lot of guides can already be found on the internet but the most of the time it was made by one person (and i don’t know for you but i often disagreed with them) i think it would be a good idea to create a guide showing the preference of a lot of fans.

RULES:

No need to follow me!

reblog this post to spread the word

VOTE HERE! (here is a list of episodes by season to help you)

it would take while to complete so be sure to have some free time when you start voting

You don’t have to vote for every categories if you don’t want to, and chose the numbers of answers you want)

Try to be various in your choices, not only one doctor, one era… the purpose is really to make a guide for everyone

They said you might come.
