"Joy is a loving, caring woman. She has true compassion for those that she works with. We work together as Support Group Leaders for a volunteer organization called Step By Step. As a Support Group Leader, Joy shows the compassion and expertise that the young mothers are in search of. All of the mothers flock to her and always want to be in her group because, they know that she can be trusted 100% and that she will always be completely honest with them and not just tell them what they want to hear. This attribute is what makes her an outstanding Support Group Leader." ~Taryn Boyd, Support Group Leader, Step By Step~

"First of all, Joy is a dear friend whom I have had the opportunity to worship and pray with. She is a classy woman who knows and loves the Lord Jesus Christ. That being said, Joy was invaluable in helping me with the Annual African American Ministries dinner. When everything had gone wrong, Joy was able to help me make sense of the madness. To everyone else, the dinner was a success. This was because Joy helped me out at the last minute without hesitation. A gifted author, Joy has brought encouragement to others through her book "Authentic Joy" which is a wonderful reflection of the Word of God. Her writing is devotional to God as much as it is inspirational for humanity! All in all, Joy is a joy to know and work with. She is a blessing and true child of God. Proverbs 31:29-30 sums up Joy!" ~D. Anthony Everett, Associate Director for New Church and Congregational Development for African American Ministries, Kentucky Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church~
"I supervised Joy during her graduate internship at the Graves Center for Calling & Career at Georgetown College. I can offer the highest recommendation for Joy as a counselor with a broad range of skills, who is willing to go beyond what is required, and as a professional with a sensitivity and concern for others. Her contributions to our students and campus were immediate and deep, and she made an impact with her counseling and presence. I would recommend Joy without reservation for other opportunities as she would be a tremendous asset/blessing to any organization!" ~Robin Fleischer, Director, Graves Center for Calling & Career at Georgetown College~
"Joy – You are a Godly woman and your walk with God is evident in everything that you do and say. Whenever I have called on you for anything, you have always and without hesitation given freely of yourself. You are always willing to help out others and you never ask for anything in return. You just want to bring out the best in others through God’s love. I love and appreciate you so much! You are truly and inspiration to me!" ~Sylvia Howard Agape Theatre Troupe~

Joy is a very knowledgeable, driven, loyal, dedicated, and hardworking individual with a very pleasant demeanor. Having known Joy has provided me with an insight to a woman, who always invests 110% of herself to achieving excellence in whatever field of endeavor she is applying, whether that field is professional career, church, civic, or family. She is also a very dynamic person, who can adapt to any situation she is put in. I have worked with Joy in various capacities related to our careers throughout the years.

Thanks for your time and consideration." ~Rodney Jackson President, Lexington Urban League Young Professionals~
