Day three on The 24th annual Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage was a timeline of Black music and culture as guests with the theme of 70s vs 90s. From bell-bottoms and afros to baggy jeans and bamboo earrings, the “Party with a Purpose” was in full effect, celebrating two iconic decades.
Erica Campbell set the tone for the day bringing her powerful Laugh Cry Heal conference to the ship. Joined by her sisters, gospel powerhouse Tina Campbell and style maven GooGoo Atkins, Erica led an uplifting session filled with honest conversation, laughter, and soul-stirring music. The trio created a safe space for healing and connection, inviting attendees to laugh, cry, and leave each other better than they came. Their dynamic presence and message of faith resonated with the Fantastic Voyage family, reminding everyone that Black joy and spiritual renewal belong at the center of the celebration.
