Founder note
Joy, Still began with a question at the center of my doctoral research: what makes a full life possible? The research offered language for joy, agency, wholeness, and flourishing. This project is what I am doing with that answer, making room to practice, create, gather, remember, and more fully experience the lives we are already living.
From the work of Dr. Kelly Théresa
Rooted in the voices of Black women executives, Joy, Still extends the research into the choices, practices, experiences, and everyday things that help us inhabit our lives more fully.
