"At the Cub Scout banquets and the Freshman Orientations, I never imagined this marvel. Adult children can give what I call 'Stage 3' parents all sorts and sizes of powerful delights."

This is Radical Joy, a column curated by Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts.

“In a world that often demands way too much of our labor, joy can feel like a radical act. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to edit the Radical Joy series for Raising Mothers and I’m excited to celebrate the boundless joy of BIPOC mothers through the curation of essays and stories that uplift, heal, and sustain us. My hope is, through storytelling, we can collectively sit with all the nuanced ways joy shows up in our lives and explore how we can nurture it, despite the burdens we carry. Consider this series an invitation to and for mothers of every background to tap into the energy of joy and become its witness.” - Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts
