My purpose is justice. And the fight for justice brings me joy..."Joy the world did not give it to me, and the world cant take it away." When we lack joy, we have diminished capacity for self-love and self-valuing and for empathy. If political struggle is exercise for the soul, joy is the endorphin rush such struggles bring" (Cooper, 2018, p. 274-275). ]]> 2021-01-30 04:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/damarisdunn/f1jx5jwocdom41vr/wish/1143020473 damarisdunn https://padlet.com/damarisdunn/f1jx5jwocdom41vr/wish/1143030283 "Black joy is knowing that you are more than your trauma while understanding that healing from trauma is a process... White folx can embrace Black joy by helping, advocating for, and wanting Black folx to win. Recognizing and acknowledging White privilege is cute, but what does it mean without action?"

Since when did wanting black people to win become some radical notion? I feel like white supremacist mindset, whiteness, and whitewashed curriculum juxtaposed against black joy is what makes it appear “radical” or “so hard,,” when it shouldn’t be. It’s isn’t. Just do it, be it ]]> 2021-01-30 19:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/damarisdunn/f1jx5jwocdom41vr/wish/1144045201 https://padlet.com/damarisdunn/f1jx5jwocdom41vr/wish/1144047366 Im regards to her quote, I find “joy” to be synonymous with “light.” If we’re not tapping into our passions, what sets our soul on fire, what helps us shine the brightest (while simultaneously fighting for and toward something bigger than ourselves), then we’re kind of dimming our own light—suppressing our joy]]> 2021-01-30 19:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/damarisdunn/f1jx5jwocdom41vr/wish/1144047366 https://padlet.com/damarisdunn/f1jx5jwocdom41vr/wish/1144062751 2021-01-30 19:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/damarisdunn/f1jx5jwocdom41vr/wish/1144062751
