Joy as Resistance

This chapter examines joy as a transformative tool for resistance, drawing on the principles of 'Pleasure Activism' and the ideas of Audre Lorde. It discusses how joy can serve as a means of liberation, especially for marginalized communities, while reflecting on the impacts of fear on cultural expression and community connections. The conversation highlights the interplay between personal joy, societal responsibilities, and the importance of collective action in confronting systemic challenges.
