Hi, I’m Joya.

I’m a writer, editor, memoirist, homebrewer, former “gender & development” worker, and forever third-culture kid.

I am currently the editor of On Tap Magazine, South Africa’s first and only beer-dedicated magazine. Personally, I am interested in the intersection of beer and community and pursuing the question: How can beer give back?

I live in Cape Town with my husband Christopher and our emotionally manipulative chihuahua mix, Hildi.
