HAPPY PRIDE BISHES! There is so much to celebrate this month, so much to remember. The first pride was a riot against police brutality and government sanctioned violence. Hmmmm. Well, as we celebrate Pride and Juneteenth (the real independence day) and Father’s Day and Black Music Month, I also reflect on and share the pain of the oppressed.
Free Palestine. Hands off Africa. No human is illegal. All Power to All People!

It’s National Poetry Month! The most wonderful time of the year for obvious reasons lol. The month comes with workshops and slams where the top poets receive Visa gift cards. Check the events page for more details!

I’ve decided that I want my magazine to be a source that amplifies and celebrates Black voices and Black history every month (as well as other actively marginalized voices - as we are stronger together). So if you are looking for Black poems, stories, authors, and the like, you can rest assured that KJoy Magazine is the one, and not the two. I got you. Enjoy!
