Joanna been acting for more than ten years, and has been the member of numerous theatre companies, including Living The Dream Theatre in Ohio, the Actors' Theatre of South Carolina, The New American Stage Company and the African American Performance Troupe. She toured for a year with "Whispers and Dreams, Voices of Carolina Slave Children" and played six different characters, all lives of actual former slaves. In 1997 she founded Ascension Theatre in Charleston, South Carolina, where she facilitated writing workshops for women, and created a platform for them to perform their stories. She has since performed her own poetry all over the U.S. and parts of Canada. In 2002 she produced, wrote, and starred in her first multi-media one woman show called "Double Dutch, what are you so afraid of? Jump in!" In 2004 Marjory Wentworth, the Poet Laureate of South Carolina, chose her to perform in a PBS special featuring some of S.C.'s best poets. The Sumter paper called her poetry “avant-garde, humorous, touching and rhythmic.” Joanna also named and co-founded a spoken word series at the Sumter Opera, house called Authentic Voices.  In September of 2004, Joanna gave birth to by far her greatest work of art, her son Neo Sky.
