Hi, I'm Jorja.
Your whole life has led you to this moment where you've found my page.
Or, I don't know, maybe I sent you a link.
I'm an award-winning comedy writer and content creator. I've been a storyteller for as long as I can remember, and I can remember very far back. Making people laugh and expressing the complexities of life through humor are my reasons for existing. In my writing I like to use humor to explore topics such as mental health, the economic and social issues that have made being a millennial *so* chill, and other equally lighthearted themes. I'm originally from London, England, am now based in Los Angeles, CA (sunnier) and am fueled by vegan donuts.
