ABOUT LAVEDA M. JONES
LaVeda M. Jones is a powerhouse of purpose, a speaker, author, advocate, and faith-driven firestarter helping women rise from the ashes of hard places.
She’s a single mom turned soul-builder, known for her raw storytelling, deep compassion, and relentless mission to uplift single mothers and foster girls across the nation.
A creative at heart, LaVeda holds a BFA in Visual Communications from IADT and recently earned her Master’s Diploma in Youth Mental Health Coaching through Light University. After receiving her diploma, she became a Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach (BCMMHC) through the American Association of Christian Counselors. Her work lives at the intersection of healing, leadership, and faith.
Since 2009, LaVeda has been a steady voice for women carrying the weight alone, sharing her journey as a single mom, her fire-tested faith, and the prayers that now live on the pages of her books. She is the award-winning author of Raising a Prince Without a King and has since released the 100-Day Single Mom Prayer Journal, 30-Day Mommy & Me Prayer Journal, and Fire Behind the Face 30-Day Journal, with more titles on the way. The Fire Behind the Face 30-Day Journal offers women space to reflect, heal, and deepen their faith each day, while her workshop and weekly prayer calls extend that journey, providing encouragement, accountability, and community to keep women grounded and growing.
In 2022, LaVeda said yes to fostering, a yes that turned into forever. She is now a proud adoptive mother of girls, joining the two sons she raised on her own. That life-changing experience fuels her work through Grit Grace & Glow, the nonprofit she founded for foster and adopted girls ages 8 to 18 to rise above their past, embrace their worth, and boldly step into a future filled with confidence, hope, and limitless possibilities. G3 is a community-powered movement and resource hub, not a program. These girls are reminded they’re more than their pasts; they’re fire builders, too.
Her signature Luggage of Hope project replaces trash bags with real luggage for girls in transition, giving them something far too many have been denied: dignity.
More than anything, LaVeda is a woman who lives her life out loud for God. She speaks the truth. She builds fire. She shifts atmospheres. She loves hard and leads with both grit and grace.
