Rising R&B and gospel artist Jokia delivered a powerful performance at the Urban 1 Summit, showcasing her unique blend of inspirational music that stems from personal triumph over tragedy.
The talented singer-songwriter, who classifies herself as an “inspirational artist,” captivated audiences with her emotionally charged single “Who Can Love Me Better” – a deeply personal track born from her experience with pregnancy loss and ultimate joy of motherhood.
“The song was literally about me having a miscarriage,” Jokia shared during her summit interview. “I was so embarrassed because I had told everybody I was pregnant. When that loss happened, I felt ashamed.” However, with encouragement from her husband and faith, she transformed her pain into purpose, eventually welcoming her daughter Rain. Talk about turning heartache into a testament!
Jokia’s approach to music creation centers on authentic storytelling. “I love to write music from a place of encounter. I don’t want to write anything I can’t connect to,” she explained. This philosophy drives her mission to inspire others facing similar struggles, reminding them that shame has no place in healing. And we are so here for that message!
