01 / HER ROYAL STORY
Latarisha “Joy” Stanley serves as Queen Symphony X for the 2026–2027 Mardi Gras season of the Krewe of Symphony.
As a wife, mother, family matriarch and culture bearer, Joy’s reign is an opportunity to celebrate the people and traditions that bring our community together.
This website is a living keepsake of her royal year—capturing special appearances, the royal court, cherished photographs and memories shared with family, friends and supporters.
“May this season be filled with joy, elegance, meaningful connections and memories that last long after the final parade.”
