Fishback opens the one-minute clip, saying, \"It's not magic. Yeah, we can make things float, make something appear out of absolutely nothing, but even the greatest magicians worked at their tricks.\"

\"It's organic,\" she continued. \"From the curl in our hair to the tip of our toes, from the sway in our hips to the joy in our smile -- we give our blood, sweat and tears to be our very best even when the world tells us it's never going to be enough.\"

As her words are recited throughout the film, there are empowering glimpses of notable Black women such as South African middle-distance runner and Olympic champion Caster Semenya who previously faced scrutiny after the International Association of Athletics Federations argued she was \"biologically male,\" according to The New York Times.

Since posting, the film has garnered over 1 million views with many fans excited to expand and join the conversation surrounding all-star Black women who are leading the world forward.

In addition to Nike's social campaign, there is also a pitch campaign with its community partner Black Girl Ventures, which is a foundation that provides aid to Black women. It gives access to capital and community and supports entrepreneurship. With this partnership, Nike has pledged to invest $500,000 in the organization.

This funding will give Black Girl Ventures an opportunity to grow its reach through new chapter development, increased technology infrastructure and elevated brand visibility through storytelling campaigns curated by Black and brown women.
