Dr. Jo Wakeela Jones
Licensed Educator
Dr. Jo Wakeela Jones has her doctorate degree in healthcare education and has worked as an executive in various health care settings for 40 years. She says her over-achieving behaviors have actually been a numbing agent to hide the pain of four different sexual assaults: “The smile on my face was fake. My joy was manufactured. I was performing a good imitation of happiness and sorrow, but I had difficulty making meaningful eye contact because I was afraid my scars would be seen. My soul was hurt. I physically and emotionally ached. I remained broken inside for many decades.” Dr. Jo tells her story of pain, self-discovery, and how she used the Opus Peace self-help tools to help heal the relationship she had with herself.
