Theme and prompt of the Black History Month event is borrowed from Adrienne Waheed's book called, "Black Joy and Resistance." In an interview for Essence Magazine, Waheed stated Black Joy is found: “Just in being who we are, we are constantly having to resist. And so within that, we find places of joy."

 

Love, awareness, self-care and appreciation for the culture no matter the part of the greater African Diaspora you come from is Black Joy.
