Amid life’s myriad uncertainties and losses, where do we individually and collectively find and sustain joy? What is that joy, and how does joy move beyond “happiness”? What is there about joy that affords a peace beyond resignation? Facilitated by Project Humanities Founding Director, Dr. Neal A. Lester. As a Vital Voices event, attendees are invited (but not required) to bring a piece to share—a poem, a passage, a song, a story, a photo, or other something—that connects you with joy. Is joy racialized, gendered, classed, and aged?

Celebrate the life of Nikki Giovanni! Join Dr. Neal Lester, ASU Project Humanities, and Changing Hands Bookstore for a community sharing event as we commemorate the life of Nikki Giovanni. How does Nikki Giovanni's work impact you? What are your favorite pieces? 

Attendees are encouraged to bring a line, a poem, a passage, a personal story, or something else that connects you with Giovanni for a two- to three-minute share.
