The Magic | The Brace Effect

The Magic
This book is about a celebration of why: why every Black woman and
girl needs to celebrate her body, see her body, love her body, embrace
her body, and be comfortable just being her best, authentic self in her
own skin.
It is a celebration of self-love, self-care, and what happens when we
decide to give ourselves the best of ourselves. It is encouragement to
protect the temple that houses the soul within you.
magic
[maj-ik]
noun
an extraordinary power or influence seemingly from a supernatural source.
There is an untouchable, unexplainable, ethereal quality that every
Black woman has that cannot be expressed in words.
That’s The Magic.
It’s in your walk, your talk, your smile, your presence, the way you
move, and your natural state of being. You set trends, change culture,
innovate style, support communities, push boundaries. You protect us,
nurture us, encourage us, and make us proud.
This is my celebration of The Magic that every Black girl brings into
this world, told through images of some of my clients and friends who
are all icons and legends in their own right. They all have a story and a
journey. They have all transformed their bodies and continue to walk
the path of wellness and wellbeing. My desire is that in their stories
you will see your own potential, grace, strength and beauty, and that
you will embrace your own, very special, Magic.
