The Fire

Joy is a force that fuels us, keeping our purpose alive and our creativity burning bright. Helen Keller, who faced unimaginable challenges, understood joy as more than a fleeting feeling - it was the sustaining fire that allowed her to thrive and contribute so much to the world. For us, joy often plays a similar role. It ignites our resilience, powers our creativity, and gives us the energy to live authentically, even when the world feels cold or unkind. Being a Joyful Queer means tending to that inner fire, letting joy illuminate our paths and warm those around us.
