Born and raised in the Bronx, Joél Leon is a performer, author, storyteller, and damn-giver extraordinaire.
“Joél’s words are where I go when I need some inspiration. And he never lets me down.” — Lin-Manuel Miranda
“In each generation, there are only a few authors who are gifted with the ability to fully capture the best parts of the human condition. Joél is one of those authors.” — Frederick Joseph
I’m so glad we get to be alive at the same time as Joél Leon.
Preorder his brand new book—Everything and Nothing At Once: A Black Man’s Reimagined Soundtrack for the Future—right now from bookshop.org or buy it from your local bookstore. And make sure to ask your local library to buy a few copies, as well!
