    <description>For the past four years, professor, artist, and scholar Naila Ansari researched and traveled nationwide, collecting and sharing stories of Black joy. In times of artificial intelligence, a post-pandemic world, recession, war, and social media, our collective vibration has garnered a society many cannot fathom as real. Right now is the vital time to dive deep into joy and the ways we can discover it in life. Through the Alive Podcast Network, Naila has brought her research to you in hopes of us finding both individual and collective joy. Each week a guest will answer What is joy? When did you discover joy? And When did Joy discover you? The episodes end with the “Four Spaces of Joy Challenge,” answering what joy is in play, community, resistance, and self. To understand more about the joy project and the host Naila Ansari visit Themovementofjoy.com and Naila_Moves_Joy on Instagram.</description>
