Joellah (aka Jo Jo) was not only a beauty on the outside but her beauty radiated from within. She had such a big heart, this was not just for her family and friends but for the community and even strangers. Jo Jo was very open about her ongoing struggles with mental health but always used every opportunity to help others through providing constant encouragement and uplifted those without a voice. Jo Jo had so many talents, she was talented model, actress, presenter, event's host, singer and the founder of two organisations: 'The Creative Link' provides a platform of opportunities for creatives within the creative industry to create, collaborate, perform and lastly secure paid opportunities. The Creative Link Young Kings and Queens is an outreach and empowerment programme for young people including workshops in Art, Dance, Music, Drama, mentorships, one to ones, promotion and awareness of life skills, Meditation, Mental Health and Confidence Building.
Jo Jo also battled ongoing health conditions and suffered the loss of a baby but again she used this pain to help others and created Baby Steps PND. This allowed other grieving parents to share experiences within a safe space. Jo Jo's caring and compassionate nature helped bring the healing to many that have been broken by loss.
Unfortunately, Sunday 23rd June 2024 Jo Jo couldn't fight any longer. She succumb to her own battle with mental health. This has devastated the hearts of so many!
She also lives behind her sonshine her precious boy, our hearts go out to him!
Jo Jo deserves an amazing send off, one fit for the Queen she was! Let us honour her in the best way we can!
You shone so bright in this world! May you continue to shine and fly high!
