Black Joy From the Eyes of Artists: What Inspires True Happiness Each Day

"I think there are many things for me but at the core of that is my children, my significant other and my work. They all go hand in hand for me. Of course the main person in my life has inspired growth, healing and truly joy. He has been the support I needed to get through the last year and my children constantly motivate me to do everything necessary to make it in my line of work. Each of them inspiring the joy I find in creating. I think over the last year we've had to get more creative and resilient. I know for me focusing on the little moments have carried me through. The relationships that have nurtured me, guided me and supported me are at the forefront of what brings me joy." — Lauren Mckenzie
