Battle Rapper @ Joy Uncensored
Joy’s life has been one of 2 halves. She was a quiet, unassuming teacher, until her mid-50’s when she found her voice and the courage to embrace life. Joy challenged herself to do 60 new things at the age of 60 and had so much fun that she’s continued to “grow old playfully.” Joy is a multiple slam-winning poet, stand-up comedian, and writer who travels around delivering talks, running workshops and performing at a variety of festivals and unusual venues. There is nothing Joy loves more than helping others find THEIR voice and embrace their potential.
