Hillary Clinton: ‘Black Girl Magic Is Real’
“You are the changemakers, the path breakers, and the ground shakers,” Clinton said at the Black Women’s Agenda.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-black-girl-magic_us_57dbfd13e4b0071a6e06ab99
Black girl magic, which isn’t in the dictionary just yet, is a phrase used to celebrate the awesomeness of black women.
The event was hosted by the Black Women’s Agenda Symposium Workshop, which is the organization dedicated to addressing disparities faced by black women.
Clinton said that all women have to work harder at the office while still bearing responsibilities at home ― a challenge that can be even more difficult for black women.
Black women, she said, “leave the house every morning, put on that game face that well all practice, and enter a social that consistently challenges your worth ― with the images you see, the lower pay that so many take home; that try to silence your voices and break your spirits. That you remain fierce in the face of the challenges.”

I love how prepared Hillary is and how well-versed she is these sorts of issues, across the board. This was a nice event and I'm glad she was invited, attended and delivered a rousing speech.
