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

"I develop joy by seeing new visuals of any sort. That can be seeing someone in an outfit combination that I haven't seen before, seeing someone wear makeup in a way on their face that isn't conventional, seeing people expressing themselves fully and unfiltered as they are. I love seeing the variety that is out there in the world. In simple terms, new visual input inspires me and brings me joy." — Monica Ahanonu
