Black Joy

Lhaiza brings warmth and vibrancy to Black Joy, a beautifully illustrated children’s book by Charnaie Gordon that celebrates the boundless expressions of Black love.

Through her dynamic artwork, readers are invited to follow a young boy as he navigates a day filled with moments of connection, appreciation, and community. From the loving embrace of family to the respect for teachers and community leaders.

Inspired by the five tenets of Black Love Day - love for the Creator, self, family, community, and race - this story is a testament to the power of love, positivity, and gratitude in everyday life, aided by Lhaiza's visual feast of character and colour.
