Black Joy

What is Black Joy?

Black joy is a celebration of everything that Black people bring to the world—creativity, art, science, culture, and strength. It’s a way of standing up and saying that Black lives are filled with beauty, love, and happiness, even in tough times. Choosing joy is a brave act that says, “We belong, and we deserve to be happy.”

Black joy is not about ignoring pain or pretending tough experiences don't exist. Instead, it means holding onto happiness even while facing difficult times. Black joy is a way to look at the world differently, showing strength by finding moments of joy even when things are hard.
