Talk about #BlackGirlMagic.

With an ongoing conversation about justice, race, and diversity dominating media in recent months, it’s only right that some of the largest magazines in the nation are celebrating Black women in a big way.

Kerry Washington was the latest star to cover Self, showing off her Pilates moves and speaking out on the importance of a balanced life. After the birth of her child, the Scandal actress went back to the strict workout routine she’s kept for the past five years.

“I have to take care of myself in order to live life the way I want to,” she says. “It’s important to have rest days. But in the long run, if I don’t work out for, like, three days, I feel worse, not better.”

Ms. Pope isn’t the only one sprinkling Black girl magic across America. Serena Williams, Misty Copeland, Beyonce, Queen Latifah, Amandla Stenberg, and Willow Smith have graced magazine covers this fall fashion season. It’s far cry from last year’s magazine covers that only featured a few women of color like Viola Davis, Rihanna, and Zoe Saldana.

Check out the covers below and let us know which ones you’ll be picking up!

Queen Latifah for Variety

The accomplished singer and actress will star in the NBC remake of The Wiz.
