Joy Alicia's writing has been published in Newsweek, The Daily Mail, Blavity, Metro UK, The Bold Italic and more. She's also a contributor to the upcoming anthology Here For All The Reasons, which delves into ABC’s hit shows The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

While many women have explored relationships across borders, few share their unforgettable—and often shocking—dating experiences with the same humorous flair as Joy. Case in point: when Tinder notified her that 10,000 men had swiped right on her profile, the message was meant to inspire—but instead left her feeling a bit discouraged. Fortunately, it also sparked the realization that her online dating adventures could entertain others, and she hasn't looked back since.

After asking thousands of people revealing and enlightening questions, Joy shares thought provoking insights in her debut essay collection, So Drunk A Tooth’s Gotta Go.

She has performed stand-up comedy in California, Texas, and Oregon and hopes to add more places to her list.
