This was our second tour with Joey (previously did the Bad Ass Women Tour). Joey is a fantastic, dynamic, engaging storyteller. The teens loved his use of modern slang/phrasing making the stories more relatable. We all enjoyed learning about people who are not normally represented in our history textbooks. Highly recommend!

With his learned, easy-going and interactive style, Joey moved us way beyond our US Civics course for citizenship! Enjoyable and memorable.
