The 2019 Oscars were a celebration of black women and their brilliance

By Candice Frederick

To call Sunday night’s history-making Oscar ceremony a celebration of black girl magic would be an understatement. In fact, the multiple wins from black women across several different categories was further validation that they are not only powerful and beautiful, but their work on screen last year was among the best in the entire world.

We’ve always known this to be true, but finally — after 91 years — the Academy Awards finally got the message and gave black women the respect they deserve.

This year’s ceremony was the first to award more than one black woman by the end of the night. And several people on social media were celebrating the moment.
