An uplifting anthology with essays from 28 exciting Black British voices centered around where they've found joy in their lives.

Black joy is . . .

The babble and buzz of the barber shop.
Stepping foot in your mother country for the very first time.
Feeling at one with nature.
Learning to cook with your mom.
Connecting with the only other Black colleague in your workplace.
Loving and finding complete happiness in your fatness.

Love, literature, friendship, music, carnival, travel, dance, work, nature, food - Black Joy can be found in so many places. And this anthology is an invitation for readers to ruminate on what brings them joy, too.

Joy surrounds us. It can be found it in the day to day. It's what we live for. So why do we so rarely allow ourselves to revel in it? This must-read anthology is your invitation to do so - and is a true celebration of Black British culture in all its glory.

Edited by award-winning journalist, and former gal-dem editor-in-chief, Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff and up-and-coming talent Timi Sotire, twenty-eight iconic voices speak on what Black joy means to them in this uplifting and empowering anthology.
