Why Black Joy Matters

Far too many narratives about Black people focus on our trauma and suffering, While resilience, strength and perseverance are in our DNA, there is so much more to our story. We also laugh, love and live boldly! We are a deeply joyful people. That joy deserves to be exalted and celebrated.

Meet the Maker

Hey Y’all! I’m Alexis Imani aka Dr. Davis. I’m a Board Certified Family Physician and the founder of Black Joy Soy. I started candle making as a self care practice in 2021 following the chaos of 2020. I graduated medical school at the height of the pandemic in 2020. Overnight, I became a new resident physician and the only Black female physician in my department during the toughest time in recent medical history.

All of this occurred amidst the murder of George Floyd and palpable racial tension in America. People, Black folks especially, needed to reconnect, heal and rebuild their joy. As time went on, I realized I could combine my passions for community health, candle making and music to help meet this need in a very meaningful way. And so, the idea for Black Joy Soy was born. This brand is a love letter to my people and I am so excited to start this Joy Journey together.
