Antiracism in school counseling calls for an active stance in addressing racism in K-12 schools while building homeplace to affirm and protect students. As such, this qualitative study focuses on how Black school counselors understand and reclaim Black joy and resistance as a part of homeplace, a place where students' humanity is affirmed and honored. This study revealed three themes: (a) We've Done Been Knowing, (b) It's One and the Same, and (c) When Two or More Are Gathered. Findings are foundational toward building a firm understanding of Black joy and resistance while recognizing the educative power of Black school counselors.
