Hi! Iām Jo
Superwoman.
I wear more than one hat. I am a Christian, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and servant. I make it a daily habit to help and empower others. In 2018, I founded the W.W.F. Ministry (Women of Wisdom, Wealth, and Faith), whose mission is to encourage, inspire, and support women and families in endeavors that strengthen their Christian faith, educational and economic advancement, and achievement. I have also built sustainable partnerships with local schools and community organizations to provide mentorships and academic support to young ladies and resources for parents in low-income communities.
Professional.
I am an educator and writer researcher. I have worked in the field of education for 12 years in varied roles. In my current position, I work as an assistant professor who specializes in teacher education. As a professor, I also engage in research related to culturally relevant teaching and equity in education. I recently published an article titled, Unveiled: What is Keeping Black Male Students from Success? Besides teaching and learning, I love to write. It is my passion and gift from God. During the summer, I offer writing coaching and editing services.
Wife and Mom.
I live in south Mississippi with my husband of eight years, Erick, son, Jae, and furry baby, Audrey. It is not easy being the only woman in the house, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I also have four bonus children who I love dearly, and I am the GiGi of three totally awesome kiddos.
