JOJOE GEAI
STARTED
I can trace the origin and inspiration of my dreams back to my childhood, when I would immerse myself in music with my headphones on, volume cranked up. Artists like Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Usher, Madonna, and Lady Gaga inspired me to think bigger and step boldly into the world. But I didn’t want to stop at mere inspiration; I was determined to live a life filled with meaningful dreams.
So, I packed my bags and moved to a big City. I knew it was a challenging place to thrive and that my journey wouldn’t be easy. With a clear mindset, I set out to achieve my dreams, committed to staying open and teachable, humble, and eager to learn. To this day, I continue to learn and, more importantly, to listen.
IN MY HEAD
Cooking / Passion
Fashion / Motivation
Creativity / Expression
Back to young Jojoe, the boy who fell in love with drawing and creating. While working at his grandmother’s restaurant, saving up money to buy Vogue magazines, I couldn’t help but wonder: how do cooking, fashion, and creativity all fit together? It’s been a question in my mind for a long time. Let’s explore the connection and see how these passions can come together.
