Maxine Waters shares the personal fulfillment of service. Moguls Cathy Hughes, Suzanne Shank, and Serena Williams recount stories of steadfastness, determination, diligence, dedication and the will to win. Erykah Badu, Toshi Reagon, Mickalane Thomas, Solange Knowles-Ferguson, and Rihanna offer insights on creativity and how they use it to stay in tune with their magic. Pioneering writers Rebecca Walker, Melissa Harris-Perry, and Joan Morgan speak on modern-day Black feminist thought.

Inner Beauty of a Race that's already Superior!

I loved this book. The way it was written and told made me as a female, daughter, niece, granddaughter, friend and sister look at life from different angles begin a black woman, however, a black Caribbean woman in America. It made me proud to be me and see us as black women coming together to tell our truths rather than curtail it to fit other ideologies that aren't our own. One Love to my sisters and my people.

Black Girls really do rock!

Black girls really do rock their “Black Girl Magic.” I find this book an awesome read. I want to recommend it to everyone especially Black Girls because to me, the book was meant to uplift and shift mind-sets all across this nation to really understand and support the power of “Black Girl Magic.” Peace and blessings.

A must read for all black girls and women.

I wish I had something like this when I was growing up. Hearing stories from women who I can relate to is the missing piece I needed. Thank you Beverly for creating this book.

Dope!

I must say that I enjoyed listening to Black Girls Rock. I loved listening to Beverly Bond narrate. I also appreciated the excerpts from the honorary Black Girls who Rocked on BET's stage.

We always knew and know how amazing we were and still are. I am glad everyone else is now aware!

Motivational, Inspiring, and Refreshing!

Outstanding!

This book was everything I thought it would and more. It was sensitive, strong, outgoing and full of peace and insight. I had looked at the Audible selection for a while before I started listening. I didn’t want to be on another bandwagon. But before I could finish I purchased the hard copy so that I could read along. Black Girls really do rock and I’m glad I took the opportunity to experience it
