Watch LC Johnson, the CEO and founder of Zora’s House, explain the power of joy in the video below.
“There are a ton of reasons right now to feel the doom and gloom,” she says. ” At Zora’s House, we’ve been thinking a lot about ‘joy.’ Not as this frivolous emotion but actually as something that is, in and of itself, a birthright and an act of resistance.”
Joyfest will include a marketplace featuring handcrafted goods, unique fashion, art, wellness products, and food. It highlights women+ of color entrepreneurs, artists, and other creatives.
