Where Magic Ignites!
The number 8 symbolizes infinite abundance and boundless possibilities—just like this year’s theme: "We Be The Future" This year, we celebrate bold, afro-futuristic Black women and femme changemaker leading the way in arts, activism, education, wellness, and beyond. Our mission is to create a sacred space where Black women’s brilliance is uplifted, honoring the legacy of Black femmes, genderfluid leaders, and allies who continue to shape culture and inspire change.
A Legacy of Power & Purpose
Founded in 2017 by Dr. Mahogany L. Browne—poet, activist, and Lincoln Center’s first-ever Poet-in-Residence—the Black Girl Magic Ball began as a celebration of her book and viral PBS performance. It has since evolved into a community-driven movement, uniting generations, genres, and genders to highlight the global impact of Black women in arts, education, social justice, and beyond.
