This week we decided to focus on Black Joy, so we chose to talk about Amanda Seales, a black comedian, that has an amazing game show centered on the joy, culture, and contributions of black people. In the midst of the way the media portrays black people, we wanted to provide a resource of black joy created by a black woman.
