Black Girl Magik website is up and running. We’re planning the BGM Tour and if you want us in your city for a BGM Meetup WELL let us know! Go on the website and let us know why. We come where the demand is jumping. Tell your friends to tell their friends to make it happen in your city. Tag them! Website

“Unfortunately, Na'Chanelle didn't always know what it was like to feel regal and purposeful. It was only after spending years engulfed with self-hate and crippling insecurities that she found the strength to make it her life's commitment to be consumed by all that is focused on self-love and black girl positivity.” 

Na’Chanelle is the co-founder of Black Girl Magik. While I do not identify as a woman, her story resonated w me. I know too well what it’s like to be wrapped and warped by systems that thrive on self-deprecation. I know what it’s like to want to be saved. 

Black Girl Magik looks like love. Support this movement.

Jayden sleeping in my grandparents living room, a room that myself and many before him were forbidden to enter. With the exception of holiday or other large family convening. I remember my cousins would chase me into this room with such aggression that I’d have no way to avoid stepping onto the carpet. They knew my grandmother would roar at the sight, steeped in the memory of my feet.
