MC Joannis

MC Joannis (she/her) is a social worker, visual artist and spoken word artist. She picks stories like others pick flowers. She travels the world's slam stages to tell the stories of the genuine people, and in so doing, knits large stitches that mend a few holes of our social safety net. For the past two years, she has been co-producing and hosting a show aimed at collectively building a safe, healthy space to promote healthy, taboo-free sexuality. ''Cabaret Coquin" has been produced throughout Quebec and has toured in France, Belgium, Congo and Mali. She is also deeply involved in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. In addition to being a spokesperson for Diversité KRTB, she writes a monthly Canada-wide radio column for people of diversity. An irredeemable idealist, she's convinced that one day the cubes will fit into the circles, and with her legendary determination, it's expected that she'll get there long before the pigs fly!
