Bio

Born and raised in Silicon Valley (aka The Valley of Heart's Delight), Jafari Joseph grew up in San José, completing a BS in Economics (2001) and a MBA from Santa Clara University (2006).

Jafari taught himself how to “write code that sings” while working 20+ years in higher education.

But his first love was always fiction.

Love for his hometown (San José) birthed a small book—a novella—The Valley of Heart's Delight (2023).

“A fictional account of a creative Black family and their comical, DIY life-hacks at work in sunny Northern California.”
