#BOLDSPOTLIGHTS are back and we’re so excited for you all to hear from Joy Hoover!

Equipped with 16 years of marriage, 15 years of entrepreneurship, and 10 years of therapy, Joy and her husband Phil (and their fierce little ladies Vivian and Ruby) are leading a movement of humans who give a sh*t.

As founder and CEO of The Cupcake Girls, a nonprofit and a social enterprise fighting sex trafficking and hidden violence, Joy led her team in building a national organization from inception to succession over the last 11+ years. The experiences of working directly with over 10,000 women and the loss of Phil’s mom, brother, and dad to intimate partner violence has developed a deep-rooted passion for driving systemic change. By building collective movements that empower folks who are often marginalized and underserved, Joy's goal is to make sure everyone has access to essential holistic resources and spaces of belonging.

Joy & her family have committed their lives to ensuring safety, solidarity, and sustainable resources are available to every human, a mission they’re fulfilling next through their latest social enterprise 'Esōes Cosmetics'. Esōes is the first-ever personal safety connected cosmetics which include patent pending products that will be on the market in early 2023. Be sure to check out all of the latest updates by visiting esoescosmetics.com.

Ashley and Joy will talk about how Esōes Cosmetics is changing the game in the Cosmetics world, Joy’s passion for driving systematic change and what she’s done as an advocate for sexual and domestic violence prevention and aftercare.
