Joy Is The Point Collaboration

Joy Is The Point Collaboration

We’re honored to introduce our newest Pride Month release: the Joy is the Point tee designed by Chicago-based trans artist Olivia Williams (she/her), who goes by Liv. Her work is a bold, bright reminder that queerness is not just about surviving. It’s about thriving.

“My name is Olivia Williams (she/her), but you can call me Liv, and I am the artist behind the ‘Joy is the Point’ design. I am a queer and transgender woman currently living in Chicago, though I was born and raised in North Carolina. I am currently in school for Graphic Design and I am constantly writing, drawing, and creating anything that occurs to me in the middle of the night. Thank you to my boyfriend for putting up with my restless mind with grace, adoration, and a healthy dose of realism. In times such as these, things like social media and the political attitudes around us make it easy to despair, and for good reason. Often we are convinced that the only things worth focusing on is our outrage, fear, and dread; that if you are not weeping, you are not looking. I feel that outrage, I feel that fear, and I feel an abundance of dread. And. I urge you to look around and see the buds on each tree. Despite the winter and the dark, the world will flourish in a burst of color and light again and again each year. Not because it is not cold, but because it can and it must. I urge you to create and connect. Cultivate joy in resistance alongside outrage. We can and we must. Joy is what we are fighting for. Joy is the point.”

Her words don’t just speak to us—they wake us up.

They remind us that even in moments of darkness, we are allowed to feel sunlight on our skin. That queer joy is not naive, it’s necessary. It’s resistance. It’s the reason we keep showing up.

The design Liv created is bold, expressive, and unapologetically full of life. It’s a celebration of trans creativity, queer resilience, and the audacity to be joyful in a world that often tells us not to be.

At Only Humxn, we believe our clothing should do more than look good—it should mean something. This tee is a love letter to every person who’s ever had to fight for their joy. It’s a reminder that we deserve beauty, color, and connection—not in spite of the struggle, but alongside it.

Joy is the point. Always.

Every purchase supports our mission to uplift queer voices and create conversation-starting clothing that makes space for every story.

Wear yours proudly. Wear it for Liv. Wear it for yourself.
