Reception
The "carefree black girl" movement has in turn prompted the development of related concepts and efforts such as, "carefree black boys", also coined by Blay. Another concept that emerged was "carefree black kids"

As the "carefree black girl" concept gained favorable recognition, it has also faced criticism. At The Root, Shamira Ibrahim likens the emergence of the "carefree black girl" concept to "black girl magic", however, critiques the term's usage as "a catch-all term that seems to run counter to the reality of being a black woman not just in America but in much of the world."
