Black People... 
 
If you want to be happy, you must be able to hold, carry, and cultivate happiness. But being happy is not the final destination; embodying and expressing deep joy is. This is especially true for Black folks who exist in a global society that considers your mere existence a dangerous threat to humanity. A society that does not see, value, or protect your Black humanity. A society that systematically and systemically creates traps and challenges to cause you to flounder, fail, and perish. An insanely anti-black society that despises your existence. To be Black and embody and express joy is a glorious act of defiance and resistance. The unbridled, unapologetic, and unfiltered full-body expression of your Black and proud self is a revolution! You deserve that kind of joy. You can have it when you stop chasing happiness and begin creating space for joy.

Black Couch Conversations: Let’s Talk About Black Happiness provides you with the steps to start your journey to create a soul container to carry and cultivate joy. Black joy is nourishment. It is your shield and armor when you are at war with yourself and when war is being waged against you. Black joy is your refuge, your resting place, your restoration. Black joy is unashamed and doesn’t give a damn about the White Gaze eyeing your beautiful Black expression. Black joy is choosing to hold, carry, cultivate, and spread happiness even amid unrest, revolt, and tribulations.

Black joy is your birthright, and you deserve it. The most intense form of sacred healing happens within your soul container. This is where your magic to be joy lives and thrives. You don’t have to be a victim of your circumstances, and it’s your responsibility to stop sabotaging your ability to choose happiness. Start your journey to joy by learning how to access your magic, and make joy your priority and a reality.

Black joy is your revolution! “...there is more to Blackness than our struggle.” —Angela Shanté
