J is for Joy

Available for over a year

After existing in the energy of survival for way too long, Jade Scott is in the pursuit of pleasure. In a culture that calls on us to divert our energy and resources away from ourselves, she meets three women in their happy places, as she considers the virtues of creating space for pleasure. She joins Addie, a vintage-fashion enthusiast, in Nottingham, as they explore dopamine dressing and the art of seizing the day through thrifted fashion. She also meets Dre, a London-based gardener passionate about the potentiality of seeds, and Kadija, an alt-soul singer who found roller skating at a time when many of us were trying to keep sane.
