Joy (she/her) is a queer farmer and soil scientist who organizes for collective liberation. Texas born with roots in Palestine and Lebanon, she is able to draw connections between the need for land sovereignty and lack of access to freedom of movement. Joy lived in the RGV between 2018-2021, completing an M.Sc. in Agroecology from UTRGV. Most recently, Joy has been an active organizer with the Viva Palestina Orchestra (linktr.ee/vivapalestinaorchestra), playing Palestinian resistance music in the face of the ongoing genocide.
