Workshop Outline
“When people live in a world that devalues them because they are Black or Brown as well as dismisses their contributions to the larger society, Black Joy is and has been an effective tool that has allowed individuals and groups to shift the impact of negative narratives and events in their favour.” – Elaine Nichols.
Come along to this highly interactive workshop and participate in a range of fun, group games and playful activities. This workshop will involve lots of movement, joy, self-reflection, and participants will be encouraged to be their full authentic selves. Be prepared to play with others, be a little silly and bring your playful self with you, because life is way too short to be anything but happy.
