Movement Artist
Joy, a seasoned wellness and dance professional, is the creator of Joy for the People, a holistic wellness platform. Certified as a Pilates Instructor and Nutrition Coach, her expertise extends into the dynamic world of dance and choreography in Brooklyn, NY through the lens of decolonization.
In 2024, Joy was a resident at New Dance Alliance, where she developed "Reveries of Metanoia: Who All Gon' Be There" – a piece dedicated to delving into the histories of Black sensuality, addressing the appropriation of Black femme culture and the impact of gentrification as a form of erasure. This exploration aims to shed light on the path to liberation through Black sensuality, community and care, which is not always considered profitable.
