Liberating Our Joy with Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts

from In the Arena with NOW · host NOW Vital Village

We’re excited to share with you a special bonus episode as we reflect on the year and look ahead to 2024. We return again to Vital Village Networks’ annual National Community Leadership Summit, and tune in this time to our 2022 keynote conversation with writer, storyteller, and educator, Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts. She is the award-winning author of Black Joy and shares with us a powerful reflection of what it means to make room for joy -- in all of its forms -- and what it looks like for joy to co-exist in the same vessel as pain, grief, and trauma. She draws upon deeply personal and painful experiences to deepen our understanding of Black joy and what it can offer all of us as a path forward to healing and restoration. We hope you enjoy this conversation and look forward to connecting in the new year. Featured guest:Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts, writer, storyteller, and educator; author of Black Joy Host: Ronda Alexander, Director of Operations, NOW at Vital Village NetworksAdditional Resources:Learn more about Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts’ work: https://www.traceymlewis.com/ Produced by: Networks of Opportunity for Child WellbeingMusic: Want U W/ Me (Instrumental Mix), by Akira Sora, From the Free Music Archive, CC BY 4.0Edited By: Resonate Recordings
