Have a Cup of Johanny

Welcome to Have a Cup of Johanny! I’m Joa, a Dominican-American author, reader, and your go-to bruja for stories where identity, magic, and a little darkness meet. 🌙 

On this channel you’ll find: 

📚 Book reactions & reviews (dark academia, magical realism, and beyond) 
🖋 Behind-the-scenes of my writing & indie publishing journey 
🌈 Spanglish storytelling without italics. Because our words aren’t “foreign,” they’re home 
🐾 Cozy life moments, pets, and everyday magic. 

My path hasn’t always been easy. I grew up shy with a lazy eye and learned to embrace my reflection and voice through storytelling. That journey of self-acceptance shapes everything I create, from my books to this community. 🤗 

This is a space for kind, creative souls who value inclusivity, diversity, and genuine connection. No negativity, no discrimination, just curiosity, love, and stories that matter. 

📖 Don’t miss my upcoming novel, The Ordinary Bruja, available for preorder now!
