our core values

The Heart of Compositions of Black Joy: Our Core Values

We created Compositions of Black Joy to do more than tell a story—we wanted to inspire conversation, connection, and creativity. Our core values - Community, Open Minds, Boldness and Joy - reflect this commitment and guide us as we document, celebrate, and honor the joy and resilience of communities from Germantown to Galveston.


We invite you to join us as we continue to build, connect, and celebrate together.  

Community

Together, we are more. COBJ creates spaces where stories thrive and connections deepen.

Open Minds

The power of possibility lives in an open mind. We grow when we stay curious and open to new perspectives.

Boldness

It takes courage to center Black stories unapologetically. Boldness fuels our work.

Joy

Joy is resistance. Joy is power. COBJ celebrates the light that shines through our shared experiences.
