Who is JUANITA?

Smooth! Funky! and Soulful!... are just a few words to describe this sultry songstress. Infusing an eclectic mix of soul, R&B, and jazz, JUANITA introduces her own blend of Universal S-O-U-L.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, JUANITA has been involved in various aspects of the entertainment industry for several years. A performer since the
age of twelve, her repertoire includes dancing, modeling, and singing.

Always reinventing herself, her unique style and electrifying persona has secured her various spots; she was a finalist in the Miss Black World NY Modeling and Beauty Pageant, model for designers Enyce, Triple Five Soul, Phat Farm, and has appeared on MTV Jams, BET's 106th & Park, 88 SOUL, magazines, music videos, and hair shows.

Not only a talented artist, she is also a respected humanitarian, entrepreneur, and speaker. As former CEO of G&J Consulting Services, JUANITA has received numerous awards for her commitment to helping others. With dual degrees in Human Services: Mental Health and Marketing, she is committed to making a difference. JUANITA is a strong mental health advocate and a member of the African American Advisory Council for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Following her activist spirit, she is a facilitator for the AACT-NOW! monthly support group and is featured in NAMI's new DVD, "Documenting Our Presence" (www. naminj.org).

Showcasing her many talents and passions, she leads with her head and her heart.

"I am constantly evolving as a person and do not place limitations upon myself. I go wherever my s-o-u-l takes me."
