    A breathtaking and necessary love letter to a force that fuels Black life all around the globe, The Black Joy Project is Humans of New York meets The Black Book 
    ""A patchwork quilt of ... moments of triumph, antidotes to trauma narratives and rich, ebullient emotional and verbal spice for the soul."" – Michael W. Twitty, culinary and cultural historian, and author of The Cooking Gene and Koshersoul 
    ""In literature, there are some books that transcend mere pages and ink, becoming essential pieces of cultural expression. One such book poised to make its mark is The Black Joy Project…. This ambitious work breaks new ground."" – Essence 
    Black Joy is everywhere. From the bustling streets of Lagos to hip-hop blasting through apartment windows in the Bronx. From the wide-open coastal desert of Namibia to the lush slopes of Jamaica’s Blue Mountains. From the thriving tradition of Candomblé in Bahia to the innovative and trendsetting styles of Soweto, and beyond, Black Joy is present in every place that Black people exist. Now—at last—is a one-of-a-kind celebration of this truth and a life-giving testament to one of the most essential forces that fuels Black life: The Black Joy Project. 
    International in the scale, fist-raising in the prose, and chockfull of gorgeous works by dozens of acclaimed artists, The Black Joy Project does what no other book has ever done. It puts joy on the same track as protest and resistance … because that is how life is actually lived. Uprisings in the street, with music as accompaniment. Heartbreaking funerals followed by second line parades. Microaggressions in the office, then coming home to a warm hug and a garden of lilacs. The list goes on. 
    Black Joy is always held in tension with broader systemic wounds. It is a powerful, historically important salve that allows us to keep going and reimagine new ways of being. The Black Joy Project captures these dual realities to incredible, unforgettable effect. 
    The brainchild of educator and activist Kleaver Cruz, The Black Joy Project is an extension of a real-world initiative of the same name. It has become a source of healing and regeneration for Black people of all backgrounds and identities. Long overdue and somehow still worth the wait, The Black Joy Project is a necessary addition for any book lover, art enthusiast, or freedom fighter. And begs the question, What does Black Joy mean to you?

    The mythology of ancient China is a vast and intricate tapestry woven from centuries of oral traditions, folklore, and philosophical beliefs. These myths have shaped the cultural identity of China, influencing everything from governance and moral values to artistic expressions and religious practices. Unlike the mythologies of ancient Greece or Norse traditions, which focus heavily on gods and heroic figures, Chinese mythology is deeply intertwined with cosmology, nature, and the balance of forces within the universe. From the creation of the world by the primordial being Pangu to the celestial hierarchy ruled by the Jade Emperor, these stories offer a window into how the ancient Chinese perceived their existence and the forces governing it.  
    Oral traditions played a crucial role in the preservation and transmission of these myths. For generations, storytellers passed down tales of divine rulers, celestial beings, and powerful creatures, ensuring that the wisdom and values embedded in these narratives remained alive. Over time, these oral traditions were recorded in classical texts such as the *Shan Hai Jing* (Classic of Mountains and Seas), *Fengshen Yanyi* (Investiture of the Gods), and *Journey to the West*. These literary works not only compiled and expanded upon the myths but also integrated historical events and philosophical ideals, blurring the line between legend and reality. As a result, Chinese mythology became a living tradition, continuously evolving while retaining its fundamental themes.   
    One of the most remarkable aspects of Chinese mythology is its profound influence on Chinese culture. Mythological figures like the dragon and phoenix continue to be symbols of power and prosperity, appearing in imperial regalia, architecture, and festivals. The concept of the Mandate of Heaven, which legitimized dynastic rule, originated from mythological beliefs about divine approval.
