Michelle Joy is a recent graduate from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting and a minor in Political Science. In her hometown of Chicago, she studied improvisation and sketch comedy at the famed Second City Conservatory.

Passionate about social justice, politics, urban planning, and the intersection of social change and education through storytelling, she provides a unique point-of-view (and sense of style) to any production.

Additionally, Michelle Joy founded Blu Joy Productions to create original creative content. Her first short film, “We Want A,” is set to finish post-production this August.

Outside of performing, writing, and film production, you can find her thrifting, adding to her weird earring collection, and buying more books than she can read in a lifetime.
