It's difficult to write a bio for someone you've known your entire life. How does one bottle up all the nuances that shape a friend into family and then share that with others properly? Joy Graves was the first person outside of family who I looked up to and admired. She lived next door to me as a child. Her mama and my mama were friends and spent many days and evenings in one another's company. Years later we became cousins by a process called, my mama had kids with her uncle. I was a tiny bit younger and envied the way in which she took care of her siblings and the other kids in the neighborhood. 

Joy let me join her clubs and activities and that remains my first memory of how to organize and gather folks, so when she put together a playlist on Self-Care I was honored to discuss it with her. She deserves all the kudos for caring for others, she's done this work all her life, so to finally indulge in that kind of care for herself is a thing of beauty to observe.
