The work of creatives/scholars/writers/alchemists like Alexis Pauline Gumbs in the 21st century is really a backbone and structure for how we can think about the prevalence and impact of a hashtag like #BlackGirlMagic and its (non-corporatized, non-appropriated) influence and impact. For many, the proclaiming of Black girlnesss has always been magic. For this part of the unit, read this essay, The Shape of Impact (click here). This is a short essay on The Feminist Wire that packs a BIG punch. After this, please also read “17th Floor: A Pedagogical Oracle from/with Audre Lorde” (click here). See the syllabus for your writing assignment.
