About us
Our History
Love Your Magic (LYM) is a grassroots organization committed to the healthy development of Black and Brown girls.
Founded in 2017 by a group of Black and Brown women educators in Boston, Massachusetts, Love Your Magic began as a conference designed to respond to and disrupt the disproportionate amount of Black and Brown girls that were being “pushed out” of schools.
Our Approach
Self-advocacy, self-love, and sisterhood can impact Black and Brown girls’ educational pursuits and experiences.
Our work equips the girls with the tools to advocate for themselves and their communities. We provide a space for girls to tell their stories, develop their self-esteem, and celebrate each other.
Our Commitment
As a commitment to embracing and acknowledging the varying identity and experiences of all Black and Brown girls, including trans girls, we emphasize the importance of the term “gxrls’’ as an inclusive one.
Love Your Magic’s Youth Development Model

Self-Advocacy
Too often our girls internalize values that tell them to be silent. As their village, it is our responsibility to help them develop the skills they need to use their voice.
Self-Love
Self-love is essential for our gxrls. As their village, we can and should speak love into them and affirm them until they know self-love for themselves.
Sisterhood
Love Your Magic encourage gxrls to see each other not as competitors, but as sisters, through an emphasis on sisterhood.
