⭕️ Adoption Advocate
I am an experienced educator, a passionate adoption advocate, author, and patron of the arts. After going through my own struggles as an adoptee, I wrote my memoir, Finding Joi: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Love. I share my story so that I can help others who sit in silence about their struggles, and I continue to find ways to be open about adoption, not only with adults but to start the conversation with young people, too.
THE STORY UNFOLDS
⚖️ January. I attended a legislation celebration, opening previously sealed birth records for adult adoptees…
🤰🏽February. Met my birth mother after she gave her testimony of my existence...
🙎🏽♂️ March. Met my birth father at my adopted father’s home ...
🎶 March. ALL my parents attended a Rock & Roll Soul Review where I performed
I share this journey to help everyone understand how they can help;
💔 heal hearts,
🌁 bridge gaps,
🗣 share resources, and
✏️ erase adoption shame by engaging in conversation.
Someone in your circle ⭕️ needs to hear this story. Someone in your ⭕️ is silently suffering. Someone in your ⭕️ wants to adopt but doesn’t know where to start.
🎙 I found joy in my journey, I know counseling isn’t “just for crazy people”, I no longer wear a mask in a relationship, I want everyone to understand adoptees challenges and know talking about it is a big part of the healing journey. Let’s connect.
