What Every Woman Should Know Before—and After—Life Turns Upside Down

Drawing from her own experience of widowhood, bankruptcy, and serious health scares, Joy shares the steps women can take to safeguard their financial and emotional independence long before crisis strikes. She also offers practical, hard-earned advice for those already rebuilding, showing that it’s possible to start again with both stability and confidence.

The Realities of Modelling Over 70

Joy pulls back the curtain on how fashion defines “mature” models, why men are celebrated in their seventies while women disappear from casting lists after fifty-five, and what needs to change for genuine representation.

The Pay Gap No One Talks About in Fashion

Drawing on her experience walking runways in her seventies, Joy sheds light on an overlooked inequality: female models—especially those over 55—are often paid significantly less than their male counterparts. She explores why this disparity persists and how it reflects a deeper industry bias that celebrates older male models as “distinguished” while overlooking equally capable and striking older women. Joy makes the case for valuing mature women not just in visibility, but in pay equity, and explains why addressing these issues matters for the next generation of talent entering the industry.
