might suggest a book purely about Black girl joy. But Blay’s writing is as multi-dimensional, wide-ranging, and engaging as the Black women she writes about — from Cardi B, Mel B, and Josephine Baker to herself. Blay spoke withabout how she took the viral phrase from a hashtag to a deeper exploration on the totality of depictions on Black womanhood — a process that helped her better understand herself and her own capacity for joy., but it's also really sad.
In writing openly and honestly, Blay found herself navigating a broad spectrum of feelings in her own life. “I was writing at a time when I was probably the most. “It was these images of Black joy, Black women at rest, and icons like Josephine Baker that helped me situate myself in the conversation.”, which she was creating as she wrote. These images of Black women are powerful reminders of the beauty, strength, and vastness of Black womanhood.
For Black women, who still encounter misrepresentations and are oftentimes dismissed and unacknowledged for their greatness, Blay’s energy boards are as important as they are uplifting. “When you live in a white supremacist house, there's a narrative that's presented. You're given a small window of what could be or what can exist. You're given a small window of what you are allowed to imagine for yourself,” said Blay.
