Black Joy: Stories of Resistance, Resilience, and Restoration 
by Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts

Inspired by her essay on Black Joy for The Washington Post, this collection of essays showcases "instances of joy in the context of Black culture" to challenge stereotypical stories of "Black life as solely comprised of trauma and hardship." Join us to discuss how joy can not only help overcome obstacles but also become a resource for resistance and restoration.
