Fictional or real, black girls have been simply winning in the past few years. Though there's been flack from every side and we've been put down for years while other people "adopt" things from our culture and make it popular, we're still making things happen.

1. Simone Biles

Let's start with the Olympics. First, Gabby Douglas dominated the Olympics in gymnastics, but now, it's Simone Biles' turn. The nineteen year old gymnast from Columbus, Ohio is a three-time World all-around champion as well as the one person to hold the most world medals in history. At 4'9" and 109 pounds, she's a force to be reckoned with.

2. Marvel's RiRi Williams

Earlier this year, Time Magazine revealed in an interview with Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis that there was a new Iron Man coming to town. This new Iron Man turned out to be a young girl by the name of RiRi Williams, who successfully built an Iron Man suit from Tony Stark's old models and armor ideas. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding this because RiRi Williams happens to be a young black girl. As far as I can see, there's no problem. There needs to be more diversity in comic book culture, and Marvel is starting to show just that. Anyway, just look at RiRi. She's gorgeous.

3. Zendaya's Barbie

Back in 2015, Mattel revealed that they created a Barbie doll in Zendaya's likeness after seeing her look at the 2015 Oscars. The doll looks almost exactly like Zendaya, and is one of the few dolls that actually looks like a black woman, and actually has locs. Though Zendaya was also slammed by Giuliana Rancic for a stereotypical notion of locs, she reacted to the controversy beautifully.

4. Viola Davis' Emmy

Viola Davis, beautiful actress, mother and wife was the first black woman to win an Emmy for outstanding actress in a drama. The drama, "How To Get Away With Murder", sees Davis as a law professor. The win has been a long time coming, and is definitely a win for black actors and actresses. Not only that, but Davis also gave a wonderful speech. Hopefully, we see more down the line.

Other than celebrities, black women have started winning in the past few years. We've become more educated, informed, outspoken, and highlighted for our talents than ever before. We've been the driving force behind different movements for years, and we're finally demanding true equality now. Let's keep winning, shall we?
