The women of Wakanda exemplify #BlackGirlMagic, one of my favourite hashtags. On Instagram, the tag yields images of some ordinary (and occasionally extraordinary) moments: dark-skinned black girls looking gorgeous, and feeling at home in bodies of all shapes and sizes; young black girls doing amazing dance moves; Black Panther’s Lupita Nyongo, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright and Angela Bassett on the cover of Essence magazine.
