And there’s more. Along with the Joyner pitch, she hosts a marvelous, Monday Morning Motivational Call – “BEING YOUR BEST,” where they’ve coined the inspirational term “Your Monday Morning Dose of Verbal Caffiene”.

Though she’s accomplished and achieved quite a lot over the last 26 years, her greatest joy is the love of her life and husband of 26 years, Ray; her three sons, Charles, Naeem, and Jabril; and her three grandchildren, Amani, Aliah and Jaxson. Nothing compares to her family.

Wellness Issue

4 and 1/2 years ago, Joi was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she bravely and triumphantly forged through and conquered. Last November, however, she was diagnosed with greaves disease, which is a thyroid related disease. As with all other adversities she’s faced, Joi is finding ways and means like surrendering to successfully treat and manage the adverse effects of this hormonal disorder, and still be her best.
