Born and raised in Lebanon, Joze avoided speaking for over 25 years, hindered by the fear of being judged for his stutter. Everything changed when he decided to turn fear into action.Today, Joze has delivered five TEDx talks and performed stand-up comedy across three continents and in four languages. He has spoken at organizations such as the FBI, the United Nations, the Department of Justice, Google, Meta, Netflix, and TikTok. Words Left Unspoken, the movie about his journey directed by film-maker Josiane Blanc, premiered at the Reel World Film Festival in Toronto in October 2024.
