- Health & Fitness
The Joi of Social Work Podcast was born as a result of its creator Joi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the Bronx, being hit with tragedy in 2009, 2011 & 2017; with the deaths of her father, mother & boyfriend. Joi's friends encouraged her to tell her story through comedy as she uses humor as a coping mechanism. It wasn't until a friend presented her with a microphone & computer that podcasting became a thought.
Joi has also taken her story of life after loss and the importance of mental health care; especially in Black and Brown communities and shares it with listeners. Joi and her guests always keeps it real, honest & authentic on The Joi of Social Work Podcast!

This is the 2nd to last episode of The Joi of Social Work Podcast! And we are talking about DATING!!!!
Dating has been a topic that has come up a few times on this podcast. From Joi not being interested in it at the start of this podcast to feeling the most hopeful about it in years; here goes a conversation about it between Joi and her Social Work Sisters Tiyanna, LCSW (@tspeaksnyc) and Tabatha, LMSW (@the4airproject). -
Call "The Lady"!
Often times in the Black community, you hear therapists referred to as "The Lady"; especially when someone gets caught doing something they aren't supposed to be doing... you know cheating! On this episode Joi connected with Quinelle Hickman, LMFT & founder of Counseling to Comfort NYC (IG: @counselingtocomfort_nyc)to discuss what couples & family therapy can look like.
