Joy is an Act of Resistance

  • Summary

  • Joy Isn’t Just a Feeling—It’s an Ancestral Responsibility

    We get so caught up in the hustle, the fight, the guarding of our peace that joy starts to feel like a luxury we don’t have time for. But what if joy was never meant to be an afterthought? In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between waiting for joy to happen and choosing it intentionally—because, as Cleaver Cruz says, "Black joy is an ancestral responsibility."

    If life has been feeling heavy, if burnout is knocking at your door, this one’s for you. We’re unpacking a simple, powerful tool to help you reclaim joy in even the darkest moments. No fluff, no unrealistic positivity—just real talk on making joy a habit, not a happenstance.

    P.S. If you love these kinds of conversations, I’m always talking about joy, energy hygiene, and finding ways to feel less on edge in this choatic world over on Threads. Come join me there—it's where the real talk continues. (@hellawellwithdanielle)
