A New Logo for a New Vision

Hope you had a pleasant weekend and are ready to kick ass in the days ahead. >:)

I'm super pumped to officially share the new logo for Joyous Justice!! Wooo hoo!!!

What is Joyous Justice, you ask? It's a consulting and leadership venture created to convey the relatively revolutionary message that powerful justice work and personal and collective well-being *can* coexist. That in order to bring about a world of justice, compassion, and wholeness (and thereby eradicate systems of oppression),

we ourselves need to be not only be well-informed and connected, but also well-cared for and---dare I say it?--happy/content/joyful/at peace. Those aren't mutually exclusive (activism and wellness/happiness), but rather are inextricably dependent on one another, despite all the messaging that tells us otherwise.

It's taken me years to learn this! (Lucky you if you already knew this!)

This venture is the culmination of an intensive 10-year investment in extensive learning and experimentation with a variety of social justice, spiritual, and wellness modalities, some of which are seemingly diametrically opposed practices, but over time have begun to harmoniously exist within me and have ultimately supporting me in creating a life of my dreams. Seriously.

More simply stated, I want to bring together activism/social justice consciousness and self-care (real self-care, not the corporatized, misogynist "expensive spa visits" gunk that's all over the place--not to say that extravagance doesn't have its place, occasionally...), which operate largely independent of one another, with a few glimmering exceptions (see: Pleasure Activism). Consciousness around self-care's and activism interdependence is slowly starting to build, and I want Joyous Justice to help accelerate that process because it's desperately needed.

On the off-chance that some of these different resources and knowings can be helpful to people or communities who aren't normally exposed to them (whether that be wellness or activism), I will endeavor to share what I know in the most palatable way possible in the hopes that you too may experience some relief, inspiration, magic, and motivation as well. Whichever of those you need. So I welcome and appreciate your feedback and input.

This is an offering to those I love (which begins with my family and friends and quickly expands to the whole of humanity, lol, what can I say?). You know, no big deal. ;)
