Send a Love Note 💌Jojo grew up navigating just about every type of deaf educational setting there is, moving across five states and Samoa before she could even drive. That constant shifting taught her early on that if she didn't speak up for what she needed, no one else would. Now she brings that same "embrace the chaos" energy to everything she does: from her work in social media and Deaf advocacy content, to travel, to her own wild little life with her husband Austin and a house full of pets (four mini Aussies, three cats, and one very chill chameleon). Through her own D/HH journey, Jojo learned that self-advocacy isn't a switch that flips at adulthood, it's built one small moment at a time. She's here to share what worked, what didn't, and how parents can start building that skill in their kids today.
