Black Girl Magic by Shasparay Lighteard

 

You could say that I am a witch because I am dark and fly. Or because it takes a lot of magic to exist as a black woman- Shasparay Lighteard

 

Through this ode to black girls, the poet defines the phenomenon that is Black Girl Magic. Also, she breaks down the never-ending ostracism of black girls in modern-day society.
