SPEECH AND TESTIMONY WRITING
Joia considers Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Gettysburg Address the finest speech ever written. Despite having just 228 words and lasting only 2 minutes and 28 seconds, it played a crucial role in uniting the nation and remains widely quoted 159 years later.
Great speeches embody the speaker's vision, resonate with the audience, and spread compelling ideas. Joia and her team specialize in crafting speeches that tell captivating stories and inspire listeners. With excellent delivery, these speeches can profoundly impact lives. As Barack Obama said, "One voice can change the world."
Joia collaborates with clients to transform their life-changing ideas into powerful, resonant words. Crafting the perfect speech often involves multiple rounds of editing to blend ideas, facts, stories, and impact seamlessly. This effort is particularly valuable for Black women in leadership and other executives of color, enhancing their careers and advancing their organizations.
Joia's distinguished clients have included the late Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover. Alongside the company’s distinguished writer, Njemile Ali, Joia has written testimonies for Congressional and City Council hearings, commencement speeches for Ivy League institutions, keynote addresses, and 14 TEDx Talks.
