Writer. Artist. Doctor. 100% Human Being
As a lifelong learner and creative thinker, Joie has followed a path that defies convention. Her professional journey has included careers as an electrical engineer, publisher, bestselling author, emerging visual artist, researcher, and activist, culminating in the achievement of a PhD.
Rather than viewing these accomplishments as separate identities, she sees them as expressions of an enduring curiosity and a belief that learning never ends.
Joie's writing explores identity, resilience, justice, love, and the complexities of the human experience. Her two-part memoir, Mambo Lips and Salsa Hips, has resonated deeply with readers particularly within the 2SLGBTQ+ community and has been incorporated into the curriculum of LGBTQ+-affirming schools in the United States.
Her distinctive storytelling voice has since expanded beyond memoir into fiction, where she blends compelling characters, social insight, and suspense with her unmistakable narrative style.
Whether writing memoir, literary fiction, or crime thrillers, Joie Lamar approaches every project with the same philosophy: stories have the power to challenge assumptions, build empathy, and remind us that our shared humanity is always greater than the labels that seek to divide us.
