J.J. Braden

Jymyaka (pronounced Juh-me-uh-kuh) Joi Braden, is an enthusiastic reader and an animated storyteller who believes strongly in the written word to create bridges across worlds, cultures, and timelines. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, her 15-year career as a communications specialist and journalist for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Navy Reserves guides her people-first approach. Time spent interviewing subjects taught Jymyaka to carefully coax her messages while ensuring her subjects felt comfortable opening up to her. Similarly, she captains her clients through intimate discourse that brings out the best in their written works. With quick wit and an even quicker laugh, Jymyaka is a fearless partner who brings a renewing levity to the most difficult subject matters. Though being the attentive mother of three intuitive young girls doesn’t leave too much free time, this mompreneur likes to write short fiction stories, narrative poems, contributes to blogs, writes book reviews; she is happier behind a camera rather than in front of one; and, she enjoys blasting trap music while cleaning. Jymyaka resides in North Little Rock, Arkansas with her wife and daughters.
