The Q: What Is Your Magic?

Since the inception of the cultural phenomenon known as #BlackGirlMagic in 2013, black women everywhere have openly celebrated their achievement, au naturel beauty, power and resilience in ways they’ve never done before. By celebrating their womanhood, black women are reminding the world of their universal awesomeness.

As black women continue to use the hashtag on social platforms to help defy the stereotypes and portray the character and lifestyle of black girls and women in a more positive light, Team Beautiful asked some of our favorite black women in the media industry to examine their magic.

In a video series called The Q, we ask women with varying perspectives on just about everything in life, “What’s your magic?”

The footage features Valerie Lora, who has worked as a producer for MTV and BET, among others; Cleaverly Chloé, podcast/web TV host; Shamika Sanders, entertainment editor at Team Beautiful, Charise Frazier, HelloBeautiful’s own pop-culture news junkie; Eb the Celeb, a content producer who has worked for a number of VIACOM franchises.

We tapped Jamal Jimoh, well-known social media personality and co-host of the podcast Marisa Explains It All, to pose the question.

Ladies, always remember: we all have a little magic within us.
