About Black Joy Paper

Black Joy Paper was created to amplify the voices of a group of talented Black artists, and to add diversity and inclusion in an industry that has lacked that presence in past years. As artists and business owners of six compelling brands of cards and stationery, Black Joy Paper expresses their individuality, creativity, and experiences through their own respective product lines. With Black Joy Paper, they have come together to introduce a shared body of work that will not only add a new spectrum of color to the stationery industry, but also normalize the representation of Black artists. When naming the collective, they were inspired by their cultural pride and their desire to be represented in a way that would express Joy to everyone regardless of color. Black Joy Paper values diversity, individual expression, and compassion. They hope you enjoy the humor and inspiration in the following pages … and maybe find a little of yourself.
