Chiemeka Offor on the Abundant Black Joy of Her Juneteenth Community Photo Booth

Ahead of Offor’s fourth annual Juneteenth Community Photo Booth in Prospect Park on Friday, Vogue sat down with her to discover how creating images of Black families can become a vehicle for radical imagination, self-preservation, and, ultimately, love.

This Juneteenth we remember Friday Truehart, captured in Gambia, brought to Charleston, enslaved in Pennsylvania, and who settled in Hopewell, NJ. This milkbox was handmade by his grandson William “Billy” Henry Truehart for the Blackwell family, for which Billy Truehart was a handyman. #BlackJoy https://blackjoy.pacscl.org/omeka/s/bjr/item/32

#BlackJoy has so much to celebrate this month! First up is PRIDE. This Resolution was passed in honor of Jaci Adams. Adams was a remarkable transwoman whose life embodied resilience. Despite childhood neglect, she transformed her hardships into dedicated service. #BlackJoy https://blackjoy.pacscl.org/omeka/s/bjr/item/51#lg=1&slide=0

I am having a painful day.

Would you kind folks, in the next 24 hours or so, tag me on a post you make about the last moment (or much longer?) you had or saw some #TransJoy ? Or #NBJoy ? Or #AgenderJoy ? Now you see why I'm asking? Too many possible sources. #BlackJoy or #DisabledJoy or #DeafJoy or so many others.

If you've a marginalised identity and found joy recently, tell me what it was. Don't be afraid to say it was about discomfiting your oppressor. Speak your joy. Doesn't matter if I share an identity with your oppressor, I don't do defensive. If I've done what you say, I'll apologise and/or accept responsibility for my failures and misdeeds and privilege. If I haven't, then I will share your victory joy, bc any oppressor is too many.

I just want to hear what's bringing you joy in an identity important to you?

Thread RULE: if it isn't about you, don't make it about you. You need to defend yourself for some reason? This is neither time nor place. Joy only. You wanna hurt someone? Not here. This is a braver space than that.

What's your joy, if you want to share?

To some it’s chaos, to me it’s a happy accident. I know I planted tomato seeds, of that I am sure. Everything else will be a surprise. #gardening #garden #plants #Summer2026 #BlackJoy
