In this all new episode of It Sure is a Beautiful Day we get to meet CaShawn Thompson, the woman who coined the phrase “Black Girls are Magic” that eventually became the movement: #BlackGirlMagic. She has written the foreward for a brand new book out today from the Rebel Girls series, “Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Real-life Tales of Black Girl Magic.”

Catt and Cawshawn are joined by journalist Lilly Workneh who edited the book and who reminds us that “You can’t be what you can’t see.” The women discuss the importance of fair, accurate, uplifting representation of black women and girls.

Support Rebel Girls, this vitally important global, multi-platform brand dedicated to inspiring and instilling confidence in a generation of girls by picking up this new book today!  Hey - buy one for you and pick up another to give as a gift.

Thank you for continuing to leave us reviews and for following along with our host @iamcattsadler and our show page @abdwithcatt on Instagram! Also, there’s still plenty of merch so if you haven’t had a chance to snag yours – there’s still time!
