Magic Introduction/Summary: “What is Black Girl Magic? Blogger Lindsey gives her definition of Black Girl Magic as “that sprinkle of magic that embodies our sassiness, our sharpness, our talent, wit, beauty, style, [and] skill...” (Lindsey). However, our own personal definition of Black Girl Magic is a feeling and sense of pride that encompasses everything wonderful about black women; many times over-looked by our society.

We are also prepared to receive negative feedback and are willing to incorporate that data into our project to show contrast and our understanding that not all people support or believe in this new, fresh, and innovative movement. Justification: Our proposed plan for this project is effective because each of us will have time to conduct our own research, as well as, interview a select group of individuals before collaborating. By doing this, we both get to incorporate things that we feel are important for the chosen topic. When we then come together, we will also be able to critique our work as a team. We will split the responsibility of finding sources; therefore, we will Roles & Responsi each need to find four sources each and interview or gather personal statements from 3-4 people ‘as well, After all research has been conducted and data has been gathered we will be able to move forward and complete our Prezi presentation together.
