A former DEI executive at Google suggests that the myth of the Black woman is that she is impermeable and says, “This assigned impermeability has a significant impact on her mental, physical, and emotional health.”
Who do you think of when you hear the term “Black girl magic?” Do you think of four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles? Tennis star and the highest-paid female athlete Naomi Osaka? Perhaps Grammy-winner India Arie comes to mind, or the award-winning actress Taraji P. Henson? Each of these women is a beacon of power, talent, and excellence while also displaying the courage and vulnerability to say, “enough.”
