What brings you joy? How are you incorporating joy into your life every day?

Family, I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation on Saturday’s episode of Full Circle with the co-founders of the Joyous Black Girl Movement. They created Joyous Black Girl Movement with a mission is to create collective intergenerational spaces where Black Women can have honest conversations, build community, and invest in their joy.

Tune in to hear my conversation with Kendall Dominique and Mimi Carter as we discussed what joy looks like, the need for black women to incorporate joy into our lives, giving ourselves permission to experience joy in our lives, and what expressions of joy look like.
