Joi is a wife, mother, social worker and entrepreneur. She's from Miami, Florida, USA and a graduate of the University of Miami with a degree in psychology. During college she was given an assignment to interview an elderly person (she chose her grandmother's sister). This was the source of her inspiration to create a way for people to connect, teach and learn from their loved ones. She (a millennial) then started working with her grandfather's sister (a baby boomer, and retired teacher) to design thought provoking questions that could bridge the generational divide we often face when sharing and comparing stories from our past. This also inspired her to find ways to make reading and writing fun for people of all ages, and letter writing is an age-old method to connect with others and build literacy.

This session is from the Struggling Reader Track at the Reluctant Readers Summit - March 2, 2023.

Malia is a coffee-loving, homebody and homeschool mom of two, who is passionate about making sure that play is present every day. She holds a master's in special education with a specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis and she's a licensed Special Education teacher in the state of Virginia with Board Certification in Behavior Analysis. Malia taught special education and served as an assistive technology teacher for over 10 years in her local public school system before making the shift to homeschooling her own children.

In the transition to homeschooling she realized that there was a need for parental support and community, so she created the PLAY to Learn Method and began mentoring in the homeschool space. Her passion for learning through play began in her first-year teaching and has evolved since having her own children. No matter the age, there is one thing that has always been true in her years in education. Learning happens in the hands-on moments, where kids are free to explore, laugh, experiment, and even make occasional messes.
