I curate spaces specifically to disrupt respectability politics. There is NOTHING respectable about oppression and the continuation of a narrative that imprisons and subjugates. This is a preview... #joyisstrategy

We think that joy DEPENDS on circumstances, when our joy depends on how we see and respond to the world around us. Come and speak with LaKeidru Blaylock in person on September 21. Her view on Joy is amazing. RSVP: areliajohnson.llc/events

Are you really centering joy? "I am shaping life from a lie coated in my ancestors' blood, blood used to absolve others of their sins, but required mine to suffer." #joyisstrategy #hijackingequity RSVP: A Few Spaces Left: areliajohnson.llc/events

True joy is often mistaken for a luxury, yet it serves as a powerful tool against systems of supremacy. This perspective explores how joy restores the essential capacities of imagination, discernment, and solidarity. #joyisstrategy #areliajohnsonphd #hijackingequity

I know that it is hard being the only one. It is hard to do what is right when others around you are silent. But language is a gift and until we take it back, it will always be used against us. My book talks about this very thing: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/5Y6TFLB8…

Without joy, moments collapse into exhaustion. With it, practitioners reclaim the psychological and spiritual ground necessary to think clearly. Join us September 21 as we expand the conversation at Joy, Justice and Leadership. Register: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/KXJQHKKK…

It is so easy for Black women to go from "pet to threat." I have lived this and will probably experience this again. But now, I have both the wisdom and the unmitigated gaul to do what is right for me. I am the coldest at what I do!

Arelia Johnson, PhD @areliajohnsonphd.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I have been the first of many things; it is never an easy path. But do not allow others to dictate who you are to you. You are an unrepeatable gift to history. Build a wider door or knock that b*ch down!
