ALICIA JAMISON

Breakthrough VOICES

Alicia Jamison grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona where she did not see many faces that looked like hers. She was one of five black people in her graduating class. Naturally, she faced adversity on a regular basis. She wrote “Black Girl Magic”, a spoken word poem, when she moved to New York and began to understand the sorcery of her melanin. Today Alicia is a proud black woman who loves her skin. She now is working to help other women of color find love for their skin as well as an understanding of the power they hold.


Breakthrough is a partner of the ERA Coalition and the Fund for Women’s Equality. For more stories like these visit: Breakthrough
