This is a continuation of our dissection of the book: “This Will Be My Undoing: Living At the Intersection of Black, Female, and Feminist In White America.” The I-Squared crew unpack the sixth Essay “Black Girl Magic” with extensive discussions about therapy in the black community, what role religion plays, and personal experiences with female maturation.
