Black Girl Magic is a poetry short film to inspire black women from all ages, sizes and shades to love the skin their in. Bee True shares how special it is being a black woman, the strength of a black woman and how they are often imitated but never duplicated. I wanted to produce a short film, which spoke about the experience of being a black woman in today’s society. The term black girl magic is popular term/hashtag across social media, I was keen to produce to a film, which showcases black girl magic and audiences can see that it is more than a hashtag and there is meaning behind it. The film features black women from different ages, sizes and shades to really reflect what black girl magic is and for women like my Mum, sister and aunts to relate to it.
