The Joi Element is where strategy meets storytelling, authenticity becomes armor. We help Black women leaders document, protect and amplify their authentic voices through programs, strategic partnerships, and community. We refuse to let AI speaks for us. Legacy over likes. Always.

@youvereachedjoi is where the toggle is off. Across platforms - specifically Twitch, YouTube, TikTok (for now) and Substack - this is where I show up unfiltered. No scripts, no heavy edits, no chasing virality. This is the human behind Joi Donaldson the speaker and The Joi Element the company.
