Bio
Born (1979) and raised in Silicon Valley—aka The Valley of Heart's Delight—Jafari Joseph grew up in the heart of San José, completing a BS in Economics (2001) and a MBA from Santa Clara University (2006).
Jafari has taught himself how to code, write, and sing—working the past 20 years in higher education.
Love for his hometown (San José) birthed a book, a novella—The Valley of Heart's Delight:
“A fictional account of a creative Black family and their absurd, DIY life-hacks at work in sunny NorCal.”
