“This outdated archetype diminishes the complexity and individuality of Black women, reducing them to caricatures. We must continue to reclaim our narratives and honor the complexity of Black womanhood.”

And That’s On Periodtttt! 👑💅🏾

This struck me recently, listening to an interview with Tyler James Williams as he reflected on his experience working with Whoopi Goldberg (Ughh… the 🐐& if you know me, you know she’s my Forever Crush!!).

I felt deep that this is the energy I welcome into this season on my life. And humbly proud that I am already amongst such a of women. My circle is small, yet beyond mighty in force! I’m to the women who love me, inspire me, teach me, nurture me, hold me accountable, listen, show up, let me be, & lift me higher!

They say God’s a Woman 👑

As melanated folx, our bodies, being, & expression have been denied - regard, access, the right to BE, & inhibit space. We’ve been conditioned to be martyrs of pain & indignation, making joy an idea outside of ourselves. A concept to be experienced only in doses, if ever - deduced to blocks on the calendar, to be earned with great justification, deemed only deserving at the high cost of performance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if we centered joy…daily? JOY, the pure inner exuberance & expression of full happiness. Immersing ourselves for no reason other than pure pleasure. A choice? An act of self-love, liberation, & healing? This may seem absurd & literally feel unsettling for those that have experienced , & .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
has been described as "finding the positive nourishment within self & others that is a safe & healing place. A way of resting the body, mind, & spirit in response to the traumatic, devastating & life-altering racialized experiences that Black people continue to encounter.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is contrary of being dismissive of our pain & collective atrocities, but creating intentionality in our response - choosing autonomy to exist in our fullness. Joy IS the processing of the pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I took the summer “off” to play, create, linger, & perfect my wash & go (cuz this Georgia humidity 🤦🏾‍♀️). I had to reaffirm centering my Blackity Black Joy as a value for my Self & work. In full transparency, that also meant giving myself permission & grace to play (on most days) as opposed to writing. Trusting that it would hit at the right time. So this feels befitting to share on .

Simple acts like laughter, dancing, singing, inviting gratitude are some of our earliest forms of expressive meditation that promote health, elevate mood, relieve stress & offer beautiful gateways to move through & beyond areas of stuckness, disconnection, & disassociation.

What is your relationship with Joy? Could it be a helpful tool in your healing process? After all, it IS your birthright! 💋🧡✌🏾
