'To be Black and joyful in a world such as ours, this is radical, rebellious, and powerful.'
As a Black woman, mother of four kids, and primary breadwinner for my household, here's how I've been creating joy for my family lately:I read an Amazon review for this slide that basically said,"My kids played on this for 5 hours straight and didn't come inside and bother me even once," and I couldn't click"Buy" fast enough. Sold! My kids love it. I love it. We take turns sliding and making hilarious slow-motion videos on our phones. Epic joy.
The kids ride their bikes up and down the block. Sometimes we listen to the hum of the crickets and distant cars, or watch the moon rise. We've turned the front of our house into a Brooklyn stoop, and it brings us great joy. Simple pleasures.Due to COVID-19, my work schedule has changed dramatically.
