Clarity: you cannot purchase a BlackJoy T-shirt for Saturday. Thanks to TBF and Reebok the shirts are free but you have to do one of two things to receive the shirt (see below). You can pick up a shirt at Saturdays live event in Franklin Park or have one delivered or mail next week.
Agree to send me a short video wearing the shirt that I can post of you saying the following:1. Recite the BlackJoy Day Motto.(Our Greatness is older than our OppressionMy Strength is Greater than my Struggle.)and Share your “My BlackJoy “moment. with the #BlackjoyMA20202.

Greetings Brother! I wanted to discuss with you about having a program at the ICA regarding a Memorial for Brother Ablioh and Sister Bell Hooks. Two people who gave our community a lot of Joy! I MUST tell you that it has been VERY DIFFICULT to get to ICA on Thursdays because of how they prioritize MAJORITY mainstream students in their ticket selection. I want to thank you for creating a way for me, a black woman Artist to enjoy their contemporary exchibits! I hope to be able to talk with you regarding putting together a Memorial Program featuring some of the Greater Boston Black Artists (Visual, Poets, Drummers and Dancers) Hope to hear from you soon!
