“Being Black and being joyful is an act of resistance… I’ve centered Blackness through friends, art, food—making space for myself here.”

TAYLOR

“Building community has been amazing and beautiful. I’ve had so much fun and joy with just the people here—going on trips, getting dinner.”

IMANI

“When it comes to joy, I tend to do things that make me feel centered... I make sure I have time for each of those things throughout each week, and sometimes each day.”
