"Dr. Joy is very professional, transparent, and believes in serving the community. I would highly recommend Joy to speak or teach because she cares about people. She does not just talk the talk but walks the walk. Recently, Dr. Joy spoke at the Willow Oaks-'Let's Get Inspired Forum' on Domestic Violence. The audience was pleased and asked her to come back in the future. She is a true example of one who is willing to stand up for those in need. She will go on to do great things!"
