Joy is not only my middle name, it also describes how I choose to show up in the world. I am a kind, direct, intuitive, funny, black woman.  I have an extensive background in interpersonal communication, relationship building, conflict resolution, mental health matters and coaching.  I have a full and fabulous life as a mom, author, and CEO.  I, too, struggle with finding balance between the things I need to do, things I want to do for others, and things I want to do for myself. I did not know that I was burning out from going at the "speed of woman" without systems and support. I want to say that I work hard to rest, play and enjoy the moments in my life, but honestly, I am still working on this. I feel magic when connecting with people who are curious about creating peace, improving communication and expanding in abundance.  When I am not working, I enjoy spending time by the waterfront, daydreaming, writing children's books and working on the next big thing!
