Welcome, Comrade.
I am so glad you're here.
Mission
Joy to the Universe is dedicated to creating spaces where everyone, especially BIPOC, queer/trans, and neurospicy individuals, can thrive, with joy and care as essential tools for personal growth, community resilience, and systemic transformation. Through facilitation, advocacy, and creative programming, J2U prioritizes interpersonal and intrapersonal development, fostering sustainable change rooted in care, intersectionality, justice, and collective empowerment.
Vision
We envision a world where:
-
All identities, bodies, and lived experiences are honored and celebrated.
-
Communities thrive through intergenerational wisdom, blending ancestral practices with modern innovation.
-
Joy and play are embraced as radical acts of resistance and healing.
-
Conflict is met with empathy, care, and transformative strategies.
-
Healing from systemic and personal trauma becomes a collective practice for liberation.
Approach
Centering BIPOC, Queer/Trans, and Neurospicy Communities:
Our work is rooted in uplifting the voices and experiences of BIPOC, queer/trans, and neurospicy individuals, recognizing their unique contributions to collective liberation.
Radical Consent Culture:
We prioritize radical consent in every interaction, ensuring participants, collaborators, and clients feel empowered to set boundaries and make choices that honor their autonomy.
Gender-Expansive, Politically Correct Language:
We aim to build materials crafted with a language justice lens to ensure inclusivity and accessibility across skill levels.*
*Our team currently consists of monolingual English speakers. We are actively working on this and seeking bilingual collaborators to strengthen our commitment to language justice.
Fun and Joy as Strategy:
Joy and play are fundamental to our work as outcomes and tools for resilience, healing, and community-building.
Authentic Relationship Building:
We challenge traditional professional boundaries, fostering connections rooted in care, trust, and mutual support—treating colleagues and collaborators as chosen families.
Ancestral & Indigenous Practices
We honor our ancestors and their spiritual practices, blending spiritual grounding with intentional care to nurture individual and collective transformation.
Intersectionality and Inclusivity:
From workshops to strategy sessions, J2U creates environments where people of all identities feel seen and valued. Every project is informed by justice for QT-BIPOC, neurodivergent, and other marginalized communities.
Let's build together.
