She responded by founding the All Black Everything Summit, positioning herself as a leader among Black creative voices at a time of significant challenges and transformations. This virtual summit has become an essential platform for dialogue, collaboration, and empowerment, providing a vital space for Black creatives to connect, share, and innovate in a changing world. <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border: none; mso-border-alt: none #E3E3E3 0in; padding: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; mso-border-between: 0in none #E3E3E3; mso-padding-between: 0in; padding-top: 0in; mso-padding-top-alt: 0in; padding-bottom: 0in; mso-padding-bottom-alt: 0in; border-bottom: 0in none #E3E3E3; mso-border-bottom-alt: 0in none #E3E3E3; margin: 15.0pt 0in 15.0pt 0in;">Expanding her artistic repertoire, Joy has recently ventured into filmmaking, creating, editing, and directing her first AI short film, "BLACK CZAR FINDS LOVE IN HARLEM." This film combines her signature Afro-surrealist aesthetic with narrative storytelling, exploring themes of love and identity in the vibrant setting of Harlem. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 15.0pt; background: white; border: none; mso-border-alt: none #E3E3E3 0in; padding: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; mso-border-between: 0in none #E3E3E3; mso-padding-between: 0in; padding-top: 0in; mso-padding-top-alt: 0in;">Today, Joy's work continues to break new ground, weaving together threads of history, identity, and futurism into a rich tapestry of artistic innovation that straddles the realms of technology, fashion, and beauty.
