"What began as a single day of celebration in Harlem is now transforming into a powerful, year-round initiative with national reach. Black Girl Magic Day, founded by Tanika Salmon, has quickly grown from a one-day event into a movement dedicated to uplifting and empowering young Black girls across the United States. With fiscal sponsorship from Team Unity Inc., the program is raising funds to provide free community-driven initiatives that include after-school activities, mentorship circles, educational kits, and its annual Pink Carpet Signature Event."
"As the movement continues to grow, organizers are also rallying support for an official petition to establish Black Girl Magic Day as a recognized U.S. holiday, ensuring that the achievements and voices of Black girls receive the spotlight they deserve. The Heart of the Movement At its core, Black Girl Magic Day is about creating environments where young girls feel celebrated, affirmed, and equipped with the resources they need to thrive."
