Who Are Magical Black Girls

Black History Month has started, but these ladies are magical all year long

It’s February and that means Black History Month, and what better way to kick off one of the best months, by talking about some girls with that Black Girl Magic that run their world. I couldn't fit all of the magical black girls on here, but there is no order of who is the best or the worst, they are all females out to change our world and won't take no for an answer. Get ready to be slayed.

1. Beyoncé

What is a list of people who run the world without her? Last year she dropped one of the best albums with songs that made all black girls want to get in formation and let their men know that if he cheated on her, then he better just goes better go back to her.

2. Viola Davis

First African American Woman to be nominated for an Oscar three times, she became the first African American Woman to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama, she was the first actor to get a star on the walk of fame in the year 2017, she’s also known to just slay in everything she wear on or off the red carpet. She’s always speaking out for other women of color, one of my favorite quotes by her is “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity.” Such a magical girl.

3. Zendaya

There are some people that when you see them doing anything, it just slays you. Zendaya is that person for me, I am not afraid to call her my role model because she’s a strong female who isn’t afraid to reach out to help others or to tell future world changers what they should know before they go out into the world.

4. Lunella Lafayette

I didn’t say all these ladies are from our “world” Lunella Lafayette is one of the smartest people in the marvel comic, she’s nine years old and in those nine years, besides being an elementary student, she’s also an inventor, engineer, and a superhero with a dinosaur (no Biggy).

5. Harriet Tubman

There shouldn’t be a single person in American who doesn’t know about this powerful and important woman. While she may not be the first resistance fighters, however, she’s sort of the Princess/General Leia of the resistance. In fact, a show called the underground, just show the first look at her for season 2! I haven’t watched the show yet (I have twenty other shows waiting to be watched), but hopefully, it doesn’t change her to fit what people want her to be.

6. Rosa Parks

If anyone ever tells you, no one will change the world by sitting, they may have never heard of Rose Parks. While she shouldn't just be known for sitting, she’s one of many important activists that have lived in our world and her impacted is still strong and should never be forgotten for what she has done for this world.

7. Marley Dias

This girl is going places! What did she do you may ask? She wanted to collect books starring Black females as the lead characters (Something I wish I could have when I was younger) Here's a link to an article about her. Also as of this year, she's lined up for a book deal! This little girl is magical and everyone should look up to her!!

While there are so many more, I want to leave you with this one request. For the rest of Black History Month, for everyday, learn about a different black woman or man. You may never know what theses magical people have been up to but they never get the credit or even could be remembered by people for who know's why. You can spend the rest of this month knowing a whole lot more

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
