On this episode, our host Jo, alongside Mariana from Brazil and Hayley from Jamaica, delve into their experiences as Black women living in predominantly white communities in the United States. In a heartfelt conversation, they explore the unique challenges they face and the resilience they embody.

Through personal anecdotes and shared wisdom, these three remarkable women paint a vivid picture of the intricacies of navigating spaces that lack diversity. They shed light on the importance of community support, self-care, and embracing their heritage as sources of strength.

As the conversation unfolds, our guests discuss the concept of "Black Joy" and its significance in their lives. They explore how finding joy in everyday moments, cultural traditions, and personal achievements is an act of resistance against the systemic challenges they encounter. By sharing their stories, Jo, Mariana, and Hayley inspire listeners to celebrate Black Joy and empower others to do the same.
