We're back with Dr. Joy.

This week has flown by, this conversation that we're having is flown by.

And it's been so impactful.

And I think it's going to be so meaningful to our listeners.

And I loved to end every conversation with a guest about what brings them joy because part of being a

black woman is celebrating and having more joy and accessing that our birthright really as

black woman is to be joyful. So Dr. Joy, what brings you joy? Oh, so many things. So I feel like

one of my favorite things is hula hoop. So hula hooping is what I say

got me through my dissertation. And I love that I have like kept up with that hobby kind of throughout

life. So hula hooping brings me joy. I also love spontaneous dance parties in the middle of my

kitchen. So I would just throw on Renaissance or some other

Beyonce track and just like have a party in my kitchen because I think that that is important.

And we know getting your body moving, you know, raises the endorphins and it helps to manage

your stress. So I love doing that. I also love spending time with my kids. So I mentioned before, you know, on the weekends, I'm kind of at a lot of their sporting events. And I definitely feel like that. I also love spending time with my kids. So I mentioned before, you know, on the weekends,

I'm kind of at a lot of their sporting events. And I definitely feel like that keeps me

learning new things because I did not grow up as an athlete. Like I laugh because I feel like I'm

raising kids that are very different than the kind of kid I was. You know, so I've learned all

this stuff about like baseball and basketball that I did not

know before.
