In this meaningful episode, we explore the depth and complexity of Black life through the lens of joy, resistance, and humanity. Centered on the exhibition Black Joy, in Spite of…, this candid conversation illuminates how moments of happiness, connection, and pride persist even in the shadow of historical and ongoing struggle.
Joining us is Brigette Janea Jones, the visionary guest curator behind the exhibit. Jones shares the intentionality behind selecting photographs from across Tennessee that span eras from enslavement to the present, offering a three-dimensional portrayal of Black American life. Rather than centering trauma alone, the exhibit uplifts family, friendship, and the enduring spirit of joy. This episode invites us to reimagine what it means to see, honor, and embrace Black joy in the past, present, and future.
