Black joy is rest too.
Rest isn't just about sleep or stillness—it's about pleasure, celebration, and the freedom to simply *be*. When you're resting in joy, you're honoring your whole self: your body, your spirit, your right to experience lightness and delight.
In a world that constantly demands more from us, especially from Black bodies and Black minds, rest becomes an act of resistance. Joy becomes medicine.
Whether it's a moment in the sun, laughter with loved ones, dancing, creating, or just breathing without pressure—that's healing. That's legacy-building. That's you saying, "I deserve this."
Your pleasure matters. Your joy matters. You matter.
What does rest and joy look like for you? Share below—let's celebrate together. 💜
