Episode 3: Black Joy as Resistance

Part 2. Dr. Myriam Kadeba and Dr. Laura Turner-Essel explore Black joy as a strategy to combat the trauma of anti-Black oppression. Whether through music, comedy, spirituality, food, or family, people of the African Diaspora have always found ways to honor their humanity and celebrate their connections despite the war waged against Black bodies, minds, and spirits. 

Myriam and Laura explore the concepts of joy, resilience, and flourishing as powerful tools to train our attention in ways that support Black well-being.
