Brian Aquart sits down with Joy White, a multifaceted powerhouse balancing law, coaching, filmmaking and mental health advocacy. The heart of our discussion centers around Joy"s experience at the frontlines of the pandemic, managing her role as General Counsel at Morehouse College. The pandemic did not spare higher education; her leadership was tested as ever-changing CDC guidelines influenced decisions that put students" safety first while grappling with financial dynamics and maintaining an enriching college experience. The rapid implementation of online education, refunds, and more highlighted an intense season for Joy and the team at Morehouse. The shift to working from home, amid the global situation, birthed in her an awareness that her lifestyle was far from sustainable. Strains of stress started to manifest physically, leading to the crucial decision - she needed to prioritize her well-being and left her full-time role at Morehouse. Joy’s vision for her future impact focusses on creating a nurturing community for women who don’t fit into conventional spaces. She hopes to lead them to live a fully integrated life, inspiring women across generations to honor their whole selves and explore different paths. She is currently pouring her faith and wisdom into her recently relaunched law firm and her new venture Flawed Masterpiece - a platform for empowering black women to live satisfying lives without sacrificing their health and well-being, embodying a message close to Joy"s heart - self-care comes before career. This empowering conversation reiterates to all our listeners: honor your health, follow your inner compass, and never sacrifice your well-being in the pursuit of success. Always remember that you are a masterpiece - flawed, maybe, but still a work of art. Tune in and let Joy’s journey inspire a masterful breakthrough in your own life. Enjoy!
