Earthy Black Girl is an aesthetic founded on TikTok in 2023. This aesthetic is primarily inspired by the African-American reclamation movement of West African spirituality, traditional African femininity, and connection to Earth as a whole.
Unlike Hippie and Bohemian aesthetics, in which it is often confused, Earthy Black Girl avoids appropriating West African culture traditions and instead uses them to reconnect with cultures institutionally removed from African-Americans and wider African Diaspora.
