Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, Joelle Cohen Wright has been living in PG County, MD for over 20 years. She graduated from University of Maryland Baltimore County with a degree in Information Systems but quickly realized that her first love was making people laugh.
Joelle began taking current events and writing sketches about them from a Jamaican perspective. Joelle’s sketch following the American Airlines crash in Kingston, Jamaica went viral, giving her the push she needed to turn her hilarious sketches into a book.
“A Soh Wi Do It” was Joelle’s debut collection of stories published in November 2010 quickly followed by “A Soh It Goh” in December 2011. These books are collections of side-splitting sketches about life in Jamaica or from the Jamaican perspective.
Both books are available for purchase from Amazon (kindle version available), Barnes and Noble (nook version available), and in Sangsters Bookstores in Jamaica. Signed copies of the books are also available.
Joelle Cohen Wright is available for reading and book signings and will be reading this Saturday, June 16, 2012 at the Irie Café, 2200 Petrie Lane, Lanham, MD from 6-9pm.
