A Love Letter to "Twitches": You Gave Me Black Girl Magic

Plus, a HIIT workout for a knockout weekend.

Hello, Popsugar here, with your reminder to do things that make you feel well. Today's newsletter was curated by health and fitness lead Alexis Jones. Thank You, "Twitches," For Showing Us '90s Black Girls That We Are Magical  "Growing up in the '90s, the concept of "Black girl magic" didn't exist. Not as a mindset, and certainly not as a representation in pop culture," I wrote in a recent op-ed about the impact "Twitches" had on Black girls growing up.   "When Halloween came around and my peers were watching Marnie Piper unearth her Cromwell gifts, I wondered what little magic Black girls from New Jersey could possess. I found it difficult to picture — the whole wand and magic combo. Even pretending to cast spells felt unnatural and discouraged in my church-every-Sunday Christian household."   That was until, "Twitches." The film changed how I dreamed and now on the 20th anniversary of the film, I want to say, thank you.    "For the first time, I could visualize myself in possession of the kind of power that could take me to another dimension."  Read More Add Popsugar as a Preferred Source on Google If you want PS to appear in your personalized top stories feed on Google, just click the button below and add us.
