Joy in Finding Community
This week’s Joy Beat is recognizing the important role the community plays in fostering joy. We begin with the Reverend. Dr. Terrlyn Curry-Avery, who embodies this spirit, even in circumstances that are decidedly not joyful. Then, we’ll go to the Cape, where a group of self-proclaimed “Old Ladies” banded together to spend their retirement years cleaning freshwater ponds of decades-old trash. And finally, to Mattapan, where a coalition of change-makers is solving community-specific problems with community-specific solutions.
