<\/a>Joseph is a British born, JA-merican raised ex-pat residing in Australia. Non degree holding autodidact, theologian, writer, truth seeker and critical thinker who treads in the hallowed footsteps of Baldwin and X while cutting his teeth on the sharp wisdom of playwrights, authors, revolutionaries, prophets, activists and Jesus.<\/span>\n

I currently spend my days toiling as a social worker for the Department of Child Safety in Brisbane, Australia while dreaming of some day becoming a full time screenwriter, playwright, author, educator and public speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am in love with words and have full respect for the power of language. As it was written, \u00a0first there was the word, and then the word became flesh.\u00a0<\/p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
