Joy is sick of hearing about your unhealthy relationships, so she presents how shemoved through her own crap to hopefully help you get out of your unhealthy patterns. It’s a close look at sexuality, family dysfunction, and addiction through a female Asian American lens, all wrapped up in a comedic, (maybe) easy to swallow pill. Body Count is a mix of storytelling, slideshow, a little bit of stand up, and 2% Ted Talk. Audiences will benefit, for much less money, from her thousands of dollars and hours spent on therapy (couples, individual, and group!), self-help books, and 12-step programs!
