Let It Go draws on personal experience and the advice of leaders from various Black communities to share hard-won tools for joy-discovery — tools such as how to say no with love; how to call back activities that feel good; how to reshape communication with those closest to you; how to revise language; and most of all, how to learn to let go to redefine what we think joy is.

Organized around the seasons and the natural cycle of reflection and renewal, Let It Go showcases, through conversation and solitary reflection, the broad spectrum of Black realities and reveals the colourful kaleidoscope of joy and your own ways to find it.

In this free event, Knight will be joined by the wonderful poet (and Upstart & Crow staffer) Franz, in a conversation about the origins of the book, how joy manifests in our lives, and how to move through the world while being more deliberate about how we release energy and cultivate joy.

Moderated by Franz Seachel
