Minister Joann accepted the call of God on her life in 2005. In that same year God birthed Sister's Hearts Ministry, which is dedicated to empowering teens and women by encouraging them to know and live their spiritual identity as their primary identity! Joann was ordained in 2007 under the leadership of Apostle Laverne Thames.  

She published her first book in 2017 titled Proverbs 31 Woman: A Peek into Her Past.  Her T-shirt line RoyalTee Designs 357 was manifested in the same year. Joann’s heart’s desire is to share the love, salvation, grace and mercy of Jesus who thought we were to die for - and he did! 

​

Minister Joann’s only claim to fame is that she is a DAUGHTER and SERVANT of the most high God. Her daily prayer is that sinners will come, and that Saints will come closer. One of her favorite scriptures is Romans 8:28.
