Embodying Black Joy

Before Black History Month 2021 comes to an end, I want to take this moment to reflect on how significant this time truly is. Although my belief is that Black History and culture should be celebrated throughout all months of the year;  for now, I do believe it is important that we continue to utilize this time to acknowledge the historical feat against monumental odds that Black people have been able to achieve. It is the responsibility of the current and future generations to take what we have learned and keep the momentum going. It is also necessary for us to utilize our talents and gifts to uplift those around us.

As a natural caregiver, I  nourish the people around me by creating and sustaining a community of care, joy & connection. Carnival Spice has allowed me to complete much of this work and I am truly grateful for that. Typically in February months I see an increase in Carnival Spice bookings due to Black History Month. Our most popular offering during this time is our family-friendly cultural presentations that highlight Black culture using dance, fitness and story telling in such a unique way.

I feel so full-filled when leading these presentations - especially when it is for our school-aged groups. Seeing kids of all ages so excited to learn and embrace the richness of Afro-Caribbean culture really motivates me to keep going. I particularly appreciate how engaged they are in the experience and the high vibrations they exude. Though all of our presentations were virtual this year, you could still feel their energy and joy through the screen.

"The most radical and revolutionary thing we can do for ourselves is to connect to joy and to allow ourselves to feel. That is how show up positively in the world and complete dissolve ancestral trauma."  -- Devi Brown

Joy, that deep-rooted inner feeling that inspires that outward expression of happiness... But Black joy goes far beyond that. Black people have contributed so much to this world yet sadly the way we as a people have been treated does not reflect that. Racism, social injustice, and trauma runs rampant plus there isn't enough spaces that allow for healing. Thankfully, joy is a form of healing; and while society often condemns Black people for being "too loud", "too angry" or "too much", revelling in joy is an act of resistance too.

Engaging in Black joy sends a message to your mind and spirit that you are worthy, you are important, and you are loved. We should make a habit of taking inspired action to bring joy into our lives. I put together a few light-hearted lists for you that may help you engage in Black joy daily:

The Beauty of Affirmations

I believe the universe has the power to align us with people, things and experiences that match our vibrations. It is important for us to keep our vibrations high to increase the opportunity of positive attraction. Practicing the act of repeating and affirmations (positive statements) is a powerful way to strengthen our mindset by helping us believe in the potential of an action we desire to manifest.

I encourage you to write out an affirmation related to joy and set it as a as a daily alarm on your phone. When the alarm goes off repeat the statement out loud and be present in the moment and positive energy.

Listen To Music

Music is a powerful tool that unlocks joy. From the beat, to the lyrics, to the melody certain parts of songs just know how to hit our soul. I created a playlist with a mix of feel good songs from different eras and genres - take what you'd like:

Can’t Take My Joy by Terri Lyons

My Dream by Nesbeth

Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See by Busta Rhymes

The Anthem by  Todd Dehaney

Blessed by Wizkid and Damien Marley

Beat of Life by Sarz ft. Wizkid

Jerusalema by Master KG ft. Burna Boy

Skip To My Lou by Ding Dong, Serani & Biggy

Just Dance - Wacky Dip by Ding Dong feat. Voicemail

Go Crazy by Chris Brown

High Life by Machel Montano

Full of Vibes by Voice &  Marge Blackman

Lose Control by Missy Elliot - ft. Fat Man Scoop

Happy by Pharell Williams

Dance Heals

Dance truly does heals and it is such a positive way to embody Black joy. Here are some of my favourite dance moves from the African Caribbean Diaspora - taken from popular genres such as afrobeat, soca, dancehall and hip - hop.

Shaku Shaku (Nigeria)

"Although the dance is credited to Olamide, the truth is that he is not the inventor of the dance. But he played the major role in the crossing over of the dance to the mainstream media. The dance originated in the streets. According to DJ Real, Shaku Shaku name is for street guys, and the dance was named after their particular style of dances when they are hanging out" - Source. The move involves crossing one arm over the other and bringing that same arm toward the ear as if you are making a phone call.

Palance (Trinidad)

In 2010, the world was introduced to the song and dance that is palance. The song by JW and Blaze ’s popularity was established when it took the "Road March" title at Trinidad’s Carnival that year where it was played along the parade’s judging route 417 times.The move involves jumping side to side on one foot at a time while waving yuh flaggg. Back then, soca song's weren't known for having dances - so palance truly broke the mold. We have even seen Beyonce and Justin Trudeau do it.

Krazy Hype (Jamaica)

This mid school dancehall move will always be one of my favourites. It was created in 2003 by choreographer Crazy Hype from the The MOB Dance Group to Elephant Man hit song of the same name. The move involves hopping from side to side but landing on your heels.

Harlem Shake (Us)

The dance was created by Harlem resident Al. B. in 1981. However, in 2001 the dance resurfaced and was renamed when it featured heavily in G.Dep’s music video for the song "Let's Get It". When you hear this song one can't help but get to shakin'.

Enjoy A Movie

Get your laugh on or enjoy a flick that makes your heart smile. While your at it, support a Black art! I have helped you out by compiling a list movies that exude Black Joy.

Soul (2020)

Critics Consensus: A film as beautiful to contemplate as it is to behold, Soul proves Pixar's power to deliver outstanding all-ages entertainment remains undimmed.

Synopsis: A music teacher who dreams of performing jazz live finally gets his chance, only he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have soul.

Soul Food (1997)

Critics Consensus: Much like the titular cuisine, Soul Food blends a series of savoury ingredients to offer warm, generous helpings of nourishment and comfort.

Synopsis: This hit domestic comedy-drama concerned the fortunes of an extended African-American family recalled through the eyes of young narrator Ahmad Hammond.

Love and Basketball (2000)

Critics Consensus: Confident directing and acting deliver an insightful look at young athletes.

Synopsis: A young African-American couple navigates the tricky paths of romance and athletics in this drama. Over the years, the two lead characters begin to fall for each other, but their separate paths to basketball stardom threaten to pull them apart.

Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit (1993)

Critics Consensus: Sister Act is off-key in this reprise, fatally shifting the spotlight from Whoopi Goldberg to a less compelling ensemble of pupils and trading its predecessor's sharp comedy for unconvincing sentiment.

Synopsis: In the sequel to the hit comedy Sister Act, Whoopie Goldberg reprises her role of Deloris Van Cartier, a Las Performer. It appears Deloris is needed in her nun guise as Sister Mary Clarence to help teach music to teens at a troubled school in hopes of keeping the facility from closing at the hands of Mr. Crisp (James Coburn), a callous administrator.

Scrittori italiani dimenticati: il catalogo (ovviamente imperfetto) è questo!

In forma di premessa. “La calma poco si addice a questi tempi”, gorgheggiava nel 1884 Paul Verlaine, inventandosi l’etichetta letteraria, anzi, pubblicitaria, Poètes maudits. In verità, gli scrittori italiani fin dalla notte dei tempi sono fin troppo calmi: il maledettismo “alla milanese” sappiamo cosa è diventato, un gruppo di borghesi squinternati, con gusti macabri e socialisti (delle truppa fece parte pure Filippo Turati, autore di una svalvolata ode Ad Epicuro), francamente una annoiata appendice della poesia europea (più che far finta di piluccare le poesie orrorifiche di Emilio Praga, meglio imparare a memoria l’originale, Baudelaire). Da noi le rivoluzioni – specie se estetiche – si fanno sull’orrido del sofà. Più che parlare di “maledetti”, perciò (l’unico degno di tale griffe è Emanuel Carnevali, sdoganato da Adelphi, che neppure diciottenne sbarca negli Stati Uniti, e ha già capito tutto, scrive direttamente in inglese, “voglio diventare un poeta americano perché ho ripudiato i modelli italiani”, scrive, nel 1917, alla direzione di Poetry, a Chicago), dobbiamo soltanto maledire gli editori che prima ci convincono che uno scrittore è un genio, poi lo relegano negli scantinati dell’oblio. Comincia la danza, mon semblable, mon frère, imbarchiamo i dimenticati.

*

Una vita da Joseph Conrad (anzi, meglio). Molti anni fa capitai a casa di Andrea Di Consoli, ennesimo scrittore che dimenticheremo nell’arco di un decennio. La dritta la devo a lui. “Leggiti Vittorio G. Rossi, è il nostro Joseph Conrad”. Ha ragione Andrea. Abile navigatore, scrittore poligrafo, pubblicato da Bompiani e da Mondadori, sotto il fascismo era ritenuto un divo, fino agli anni Settanta era semplicemente considerato il più importante scrittore “di viaggi” d’Italia: ora libri come Tropici, Oceano, Sabbia, Cobra, Pelle d’uomo, Teschio e tibie ci mancano come il pane. Non scherza, a dire il vero, neppure il misconosciuto Giovanni Battista Cerruti, che sembra per davvero un Marlow conradiano (“aveva solcato mari, esplorato foreste, raccolto esemplari sconosciuti di fauna e flora per i musei, fondato imprese commerciali fallimentari, scoperto miniere”, dice di lui Giuseppe Marcenaro), il quale in Tra i cacciatori di teste racconta, in modo crudo, crudele, cruento, quando, nel 1907, “era diventato re dei terribili Sakai”, in Malesia.

Una vita da esiliato. Cosa attendiamo, poi, a sdoganare per davvero l’opera di Arturo Graf, mistico miscuglio di “pessimismo di stampo leopardiano e positivismo evoluzionistico; incerto spiritualismo e Nietzsche” (Giorgio Barberi Squarotti), e quella di Enrico Pea, che ha avuto la maledizione di essere amato da Ezra Pound e amico di Giuseppe Ungaretti (nel 2016 l’editore Elliot ha rimandato in libreria il Moscardino, senza tema di clamori; le edizioni di Storia e Letteratura hanno stampato la pièce Rosa di Sion, ma la resurrezione editoriale è finita lì)? Che fine ha fatto il talento di Loris Jacopo Bononi, onorato da Pier Paolo Pasolini, che con le sue “acute altitudini esistenziali” è “senz’altro una delle voci più acute e sorprendenti della cultura contemporanea” (Giuseppe Fontanelli)? Dei suoi libri (Diario postumo, Miserere dei, Il poeta muore) non c’è traccia: o ci hanno preso in giro i critici laureati o l’editoria si è impantanata nel niente.

*

Una vita da premiato. D’altronde, è scomparso tra le sabbie mobili editoriali anche Lorenzo Montano, ovvero Danilo Lebrecht, amico di Eugenio Montale, traduttore di Thomas Mann, il cui A passo d’uomo ottenne il Bagutta nel 1957. I premi, in effetti, non sono sempre un toccasana: che ne è di Dante Troisi, prototipo dello scrittore-magistrato, per due volte al Campiello (con I bianchi e i neri e con L’inquisitore dell’interno 16), nominato allo Strega (con L’odore dei cattolici), straziato dalla guerra (nel 1943 fu rinchiuso nel campo di concentramento di Hereford, Texas, insieme a Giuseppe Berto e ad Alberto Burri), ma onorato dalla critica con il colbacco (Giuliano Manacorda esaltò il suo “costante assillo etico”)? Adesso lo stampa, a spizzichi, il piccolo editore Mephite. Peggio di lui è messo Stefano Terra, che nel 1974 ottiene il Super Campiello con Alessandra, sei anni dopo si porta a casa il Viareggio (con Le porte di ferro), era un autore di punta Bompiani (con cui stampa sei romanzi), adesso gli chiudono le porte in faccia. Sarebbe bello rivedere sugli schermi editoriali anche uno scrittore anomalo come Gian Paolo Callegari, allora, autore di romanzi come La terra e il sangue e I baroni “che risentono di alcune grandi esperienze straniere, da Tenera è la notte di Fitzgerald a Un mucchio di quattrini di Dos Passos” (Massimo Grillandi), noto, però, per aver sceneggiato alcuni clamorosi film di Lucio Fulci come Il lungo, il corto, il gatto e Come rubammo la bomba atomica, oltre a un’infinita serie di ‘peplum’ (con titoli che parlano da soli: La rivolta dei gladiatori, Maciste contro lo sceicco, L’ultimo gladiatore…).

Una vita da poeta. I poeti, si sa, sono sfigati per costituzione estetica. Di solito, quando l’editoria si occupa di un poeta o costui ha perso la vena poetica o è inchiavato in una bara, tre metri sotto terra. Ci sono, però, tre eccezionali eccellenze che è necessario esumare dal cimitero dei morti editoriali. Massimo Ferretti pubblicò solo un libro, nel 1964, per Garzanti, s’intitola allergia (con la minuscola). Benedetto da Pasolini (lo dichiarò autore “unico, preistorico”, dalla versificazione “violenta”), ripubblicato nel 1994 da Marcos y Marcos, oggi è scomparso. L’altro, Dario Villa, dedito a dissipare il proprio talento poetico, è stato omaggiato addirittura da Giovanni Raboni, con parole angeliche (“credo che pochissimi poeti italiani, negli ultimi decenni del secolo appena trascorso, siano stati così costantemente, oserei dire così insistentemente frequentati dalla grazia”), ma maledette: la sua opera è stampata da un micro editore (Sipiel) che non stampa più nulla da sette anni e lui è costantemente assente nelle antologie canoniche della poesia italiana (lo leggete qui, in un sibillino omaggio su Nuovi Argomenti). L’ultimo, Scipione, è il più bravo di tutti. Autore di una manciata (dieci, per la precisione) di “splendide, anzi esemplari poesie” (Amelia Rosselli) e di uno straordinario diario sul ciglio della morte, ha scritto pochissimo (la sua opera, comprese le lettere, sta nel centinaio di pagine delle sua Carte segrete, passate per Einaudi nel 1982; l’anno scorso, come Le stelle cadono accese, l’editore Raffaelli ne ha recuperato le poesie) ben sapendo che ogni scrittura va in pasto all’oblio e ai cretini. Faceva soldi con i quadri. (d.b.)

this turns out an alternative version of Elliot....

Here Elliot has such a backstory behind the scar that his face was really blown up, because he is a little toothless and he also lacks not only vision in one eye, but hearing and ear in principle. After that incident, he went a little crazy 🥀

He triggers with any question about his face, because he immediately begins to wind up aggression. But, with sufficient reputation, he will hand over his folding knife and offer to "FIX IT".
