He is also a member of the Quebec Writers' Federation and one of the founders and former editor of Kola, a black literary and cultural journal. Joyette studied at Concordia University, Montreal, where he majored in Art History and Studio Art. He has exhibited his paintings in cities in North and South America, including Ottawa, Montreal, New York, Washington, D.C., and Lima (Peru), and his work is in private collections in North America and the Caribbean.
