Summary of Kenya Hunt's Girl Gurl Grrrl - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Girl is a term of endearment between Black women that has always been present in my life. It is a greeting, exclamation, and rallying cry at once. #2 I didn't recognize myself in the pantomimes of Black women, and I didn't want to play into the outdated stereotypes. I built up a network of Black friends in London, and the hashtag #BlackGirlMagic began to spread. #3 Now, in the age of Black Girl Magic, we are owning the expansiveness of blackness and its intersection with womanhood. #4 Black Girl Magic is not just about the side-eyes and roller-skating we tend to get, but about the positive affirmation and show of unity it has become in our age of outrage.
