In literature, there are some books that transcend mere pages and ink, becoming essential pieces of cultural expression. One such book poised to make its mark is The Black Joy Project, set to be published on December 19. This remarkable work, created by educator and activist Kleaver Cruz, is a captivating amalgamation of 117 full-color photographs and eight essays that encapsulate the colorful tapestry of joy in Black life worldwide.
As the visionary behind The Black Joy Project, Cruz has created a literary and visual love letter to the Black individuals who resist oppression and thrive. Drawing inspiration from a real-world initiative launched in 2015, Cruz’s book celebrates the flame of Black joy and its role as a source of healing and renewal for people of diverse backgrounds and identities.
