Before the internet, before TikTok, before influencer was a word — there was a man dancing on the corner with a jambox on his shoulder.

Everyone called him Joy Boy. They said he was strange. They said he didn’t belong. But he danced anyway. And we smiled anyway.

Now we honor him. The founding father of the Church of Joy.

Joy is resistance. Joy is welcome. Joy is for everyone — every race, every gender, every story, every soul.
