Description
Jelani talks with Joy Cho, creative director, designer, author, Thai American, and mother. Joy is the founder of Oh Joy! and has collaborated with brands like Target, Band-Aid, Petco, and so many more. She’s done 40 licensing partnerships to date, creating colorful, and incredibly designed products. Joy also happens to hold the record for the most followers of any influencer on Pinterest at 15+ million.Here’s the thing about Joy though: just like Jelani and many others, she’s an introvert. She doesn’t recharge when there’s a bunch of people around her, but rather in those quiet moments by herself. The child of immigrants, this conversation gets into how Joy’s learned to keep the good things she got from her parents while evolving to fit with her family today.Jelani and Joy talk about how the key to parenting might just be flexibility. Flexibility with how you think things are supposed to go and how they actually go. Flexibility with the different stages of your kids' lives. And flexibility to balance work, home, life, and everything else. Joy has this parenting thing figured out, and we’re so excited to share this conversation with you.Learn more about Joy at her site, ohjoy.com.

Introducing Better Grownups: Better Grownups is all about getting into the nitty gritty of parenting. Identity, gender, race, class, mental health, you name it. Host Jelani Memory talks with a new guest each week about how parenting is a reflection of our identity, how we were raised, and who we are. About how sometimes we’re still trying to grow up even as we raise our kids. About how leaving behind the way you were parented isn’t so easy. And how the kids in our lives need us to be better grownups. In each episode, you’ll hear real-world stories, explore uncomfortable topics, and gain inspiration from icons, professionals, and everyday folks.
