My name is Joz! (They/She)

I am 22 years old. I grew up (primarily) in Long Beach, California and have never had the desire to move out of SoCal. I have had the privilege of studying Music Industry at USC.

I like trains!!!!! (public transportation in general)

but also:

microwaves, music, art, and my cat named Mom Jeans. (pictured) I love coffee, tea, baking, etc. and I hope to open up an all ages coffeeshop/venue one day :)

I believe in making art, spreading kindness, and standing up against hatred, oppression, unfairness and disparity.

I believe in making the world a more accessible place to people of all different abilities, ages, races, genders, and sexualities. To do this we must learn about the world from the perspectives of as many different people as possible, through reading of current events, art, attending local events, participating in local political fundraisers/protests, and listening to the daily perspective of others.

Discovering Midwest Emo as a 13 year-old Hispanic Girl in Long Beach, California

I made it a goal to become a part of the Mouse Magazine after my very first visit to the site. There is no shortage of people who might go to the same shows as me, but its euphoric to find those in the crowd who want to keep up the passion for music and community after sweating in the pit all night.

When I peel back the surface of the causes, hobbies, and art that I enjoy, I find the common denominator is a pursuit of kindness, love, and beauty in a landscape that feels desolate and demoralizing. The ability to design or rejoice in art inspired by this world is straightforward to many. It is a privilege to prospect for the beauty hidden beneath thousands of years of corruption, greed, and suffering through the lenses of art. Those with the time, resources, passion, and intellect to educate themselves and help others should do so. Sometimes this task is easier than others.

Whether through an article, song, art piece, online chat, or comment section I hope to simultaneously learn and educate others about the beautiful, mundane, evil, temporary, or inevitable. Learning never stops. Not every lesson learned is an epiphany, so I go into every classroom discussion, video game lobby, online forum, or conversation with the same goal: be kind, listen, and love.

this is my song "Anaheim & unethical Non-Monogamy" and it was only possible because of my friend Bobbi <3 (the voice message in the background)
