Joya Georgelas

Joya Georgelas (Tania Joya stage name) grew up in a British Muslim community believing that she was only half as valuable as a man. She was radicalized by a college friend who told her America "deserved" 9/11 and soon after became a mail-order bride to an American who would rise in the ranks of ISIS. But through it all, she sensed something truly evil about the oppressive, hate-filled culture of Islamic extremism that told her she had no rights.

She now proudly says that the FBI and America saved her life – and gave her the freedom to tell quite a story.
