Young Black actresses that are the epitome of Black Girl Magic

Im here for this but… most of them are light skinned… its like dark skin girls dont even exist in media smh

^^^^^

All fair skinned but one .

 “epitome”. it breaks my heart that the person who wrote these words is black. Nothing against these actresses in particular but “Black girl magic” should be a representation of all the beautiful complexions us black women posses, thats what makes it magical in the first place, don’t let these modern day whitewashed beauty standards brainwash you girl @quietlydesperatelives. The fraction is 2/10 for darker skinned actresses you have listed here. (Samira Wiley and Aja Naomi King who are fuckin beautiful by the way) But Representation Matters soo much never forget it, its hard enough being a black actress in society to begin with dont aid in dimming the very little light we have by uplifting these trash beauty standards.

The oldest actress on this list is Gugu Mbatha- Raw who is 34.(fair skinned). I will list actresses no older than this since this is considered a “young black actress” list.

1. Nicole Beharie 32

2. Teyonah Parris 29

3. Michaela Coel 29

4. Danielle Brooks 27

5. Issa Rae 32

6. Jessica Williams 28

7. Amber Riley 31

8. Diamond White (transformers) 18

9. Skai Jackson 15

10. Tracy Ifeachor 32

Because this is still Important.
