Black Girl Magic by Mahogany L. Browne & Jess X. Snow digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Black Girl, they say you ain't 'posed to be here

Much of what twenty-first century culture tells black girls is not pretty: Don't wear this; don't smile at that. Don't have an opinion; don't dream big. And most of all, don't love yourself. In response to such destructive ideas, internationally recognized poet Mahogany Browne challenges the conditioning of society by crafting an anthem of strength and magic undeniable in its bloom for all beautiful Black girls. She has travelled the world sharing her vision of Black Girl Magic, and now in collaboration with artist Jess X. Snow, presents her acclaimed tribute in a visual form.

Black Girl Magic is a journey from girlhood to womanhood and an invitation to readers to find magic in themselves.

Black Girl Magic Reviews

4.0
“The message was delivered and I'm happy that I got the perspective.”
“love the illustrations. wish the ending was 2x as long! <3 every upper grade student should read this poem (and every adult)”
“A comic book about the evolution of Black girlhood. You go from all the things you ain’t posed to be to all the brilliance and wonder that you are. Defy everything they tell you, you not posed to be. Great comic with beautiful art work.”
