About Us

Welcome to Black Joy , where passion meets purpose in championing the health and mental wellness of the vibrant Black community nestled within the Tampa Bay area. 

We are not just a group; we are a dynamic force of individuals, each fueled by a shared commitment to fostering joy, resilience, and holistic well-being among our people. Our mission is deeply rooted in the recognition of the unique challenges and systemic barriers that often hinder the pursuit of wellness for Black individuals. Through collective action, advocacy, and community engagement, we strive to carve out spaces where Black joy can thrive, unapologetically.

At the heart of our work lies a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between mental health and overall wellness. We believe that true healing begins with acknowledging and honoring the complexities of the Black experience while celebrating our resilience and strength. Whether through culturally affirming therapy, wellness workshops, or community events, we are dedicated to providing resources and support that empower individuals to prioritize their mental and emotional health.

In every initiative we undertake, from grassroots outreach to policy advocacy, we are guided by the principle of joy as resistance—a radical act of self-love and affirmation in the face of adversity. Together, we envision a future where Black joy is not only celebrated but also prioritized as an essential component of our collective liberation.

Join us on this journey toward healing, empowerment, and joyous living. Together, we can create a community where every Black individual feels seen, heard, and valued in their pursuit of well-being.
