Jo Miller on the Magic and Power of Sheer Determination
Jo Miller shares: "I was raised and homeschooled in an Amish community and education was just not a priority, so when I left in my early 20s I struggled to live on my own let alone go to college." How did she accomplish so much? Kimberly finds out in this month's interview. Don't miss it.
Monday Morning Magic from Inkandescent® PR + Publishing Co. — “Jo Miller is a passionate fashion educator, consultant, and workforce professional committed to bridging the gaps between my love of fashion, education, and professional success through accessible and inclusive learning pathways,” explains Kimberly Lee Minor, host, Women of Color Empowered show and CEO of Women of Color Retail Alliance, noting Jo was raised and homeschooled in an Amish community and education was just not a priority, so when she left her family in her early 20s and struggled to live on her own — let alone go to college.
Today, Jo is an instructor at Hocking College’s 2-year Fashion Design & Retail Merchandising program where she teaches a range of lecture/lab courses, as well as the Program Coordinator for the CFA x Franklin County fashion retail workforce development program Ready to WERK.

How did she do it?
“With sheer grit and determination,” believes Kimberly, who met Jo when they were both featured on a panel. “I was inspired by Jo’s story and her passion is to empower students and professionals through experiential learning, culture building, and community engagement that I had to have her as a guest on the Women of Color Empowered show. Her mission is to transform the fashion industry into a more inclusive, sustainable, and innovative space, where diversity thrives and innovation knows no bounds.”
