Black Joy Playbook

About Black Joy Playbook

Reclaim your joy with this beautifully designed and thoughtful playbook from the author of the NAACP Image Award winner Black Joy.

We have an ancestral mandate to hold not just the pain and trauma of our experiences as Black people, but to hold the joy and love and peace that is also ours.

Joy is a weapon, not only for resistance, but also a means for healing—a powerful tool that is all-encompassing and necessary. Black Joy Playbook helps you mine your memories to discover what joy looks and feels like to you and then guides you to re-create it in your present-day life. 

Divided into themes of joy in the body, breath, tears, laughter, and every day, each of the thirty entries includes the following:

• a short inspiration
• questions for reflection
• a meditation
• space for contemplation
• suggestions for how to choose joy

It’s time to chase joy and cultivate it from the inside out!
