Hey, I'm Joey! 👋🏽

I'm an educator, storyteller, coach, healer, & activist...

My journey with sacred story work began in my classroom, where I witnessed how story-sharing could transform not just the storyteller, but entire communities. As a spoken word coach and creator of university-approved coursework on Oral Expressions, I learned how to create safe spaces for authentic voices to emerge. Working with historically excluded students and teachers, I saw firsthand how liberating our stories could help us reclaim our power and dignity.

This work is deeply personal for me. As someone who grew up biracial, multi-lingual, an immigrant, autistic, and a trauma survivor, I understand the complexity of sharing our stories in a world that hasn't always made space for our voices. My own healing journey, (including becoming a certified Kundalini yoga teacher & learning from Indigenous teachers about healthier, more collective ways of being), has shaped how I approach story work.
