"Being a part of the Black Girl Magic program makes me feel accepted and cared about. It's a movement where women of color can stand together and support each other. I love getting to know other smart, Black girls who I can relate to. Since COVID-19 hit. I haven't had the chance to be around people my age so Black Girl Magic has been an amazing opportunity to stay connected with my community"
