As we navigate this CoronaVirus Pandemic, the world has had to press pause and examine the purpose of our living. LeMoor started this quest pre-pandemic by examining the interconnectivity of tribalism, racism, colonialism and capitalism. The catalyst for doing so is a focus on the “evolution of man” and his return to godliness. As we shift to that which is truly relevant through introspection, we begin our return to our culture, customs and the essence of why we exist which enhances our ability to positively impact our community.

The music that Jokia writes and sings is true, genuine worship music. When people hear her music, they instantly feel the intense joy of worship that she felt throughout her faith. Believing every word with all of her heart, it's hard not to walk away from a Jokia song without feeling the love and grace of Jesus Christ. 

Jokia has brought a fresh new sound to Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) today. In a relatively short amount of time, she has invited listeners to engage in worship in a way that few other artists can. She has a gift for singing and songwriting, and is determined to share it with as many people as possible.

Born and raised in California, Jokia fell in love with music at the mere age of 12. Always in tune with music and its performance, she knew it was her undoubted calling as she began to sing and write songs. Presently 28-years old today, Jokia sits atop a musical career that is a testament to her musical passions and tenacious drive for making it all a reality. 

Jokia attended high school in San Diego, California after moving from Compton at a young age. Upon graduation, she went into the Army and served rom 2006 to 2010. Whilst in the Army, Jokia gave her life to Christ. She also joined the Army Soldier show, toured the country and Europe for 8-months, and ordered herself a guitar. 

After leaving the Army, Jokia attended her church at Shiloh Worship Center in Belton, Texas and played acoustic guitar for the parish. Her performance abilities began to garner her attention and during this time, Jokia had the honor of sharing the stage with the likes of Tasha Cobbs, Jessica Reedy, Casey J, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Brianna "Bri" Babinauex, and Willie Moore Jr.

Jokia's music is produced by Tedy P, the same producer behind Kierra Sheard and many other major Christian recording artists in the game today. 

She released her very first single, Amen, May 2016 and has recently finished recording her first EP, to be released June 12, 2017.

Ms. Muhammad is widely known as the Ex-Wife of the DC Sniper, she is coming on your show to discuss her new book, ‘BEING ABUSED WHILE TELEWORKING DURING CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) PANDEMIC’. COVID-19 has changed the way American business owners operate their businesses. Now that teleworking is a reality, domestic abuse/violence cases are rising. Leaving the home to go to work offered a sense of relief to victims. What will they do now?

We had a great discussion on where she is now. Does she get support from the black community? She also reveals some things you have never heard in regards to her struggles.

I was so happy to speak with Monique about this subject. She was very transparent with us about how she came into contact with the virus and how she had to go to court behind HIV.

This is a great message for your listening audience because anyone can read up on the topic but to hear it first hand is good. Monique is not a medial professional but will share her story and valuable tips that make sense – not only to those living with HIV- but to anyone trying to stay healthy.

Dr. Ferreira is an Author, Speaker, Business Owner and Mrs. Mauritius Globe. Mauritius Is off the coast of Southeast Africa. As beautiful as it sounds, it does not prevent the ugly head of domestic violence from arising there and Dr. Ferreira (not so proudly) wears one more title: Victim of Domestic Violence and Abuse. Clearly, if you are a Queen or a Teacher or a Mathematician, Domestic Violence does not care, it hurts so many women, men and children.

Mr. and Mrs. Melvin and C. NaTasha Richburg will discuss there nearly 40 years of marriage on the show.  With the number of domestic cases on the rise and the extra amount of tension brewing in many households while on the shelter in place order, it is refreshing to have them as Guests on the show to deliver light, loving and true discussion about a healthy marriage relationship!
