Black girl magic means something different to everyone, but for Erica Campbell, it’s all about confidence.

Kerry Washington: Viola’s Emmy Win Was #BlackGirlMagic For Me

The gospel singer stopped by our Black Women in Hollywood red carpet, where she opened up about what Black girl magic means to her.

“It always includes confidence,” she said. “It always includes the strength that you have to go shine in the face of adversity and the face of this industry that tells you that you’re not beautiful and you’re lacking something. Understanding who you are and what you have: That’s Black girl magic.”
