Welcome to Jan and Joy

At Jan and Joy, we are the Co-founders and Chief Voices of Voices as a Service for Humanity™. We are not just speaking — we are igniting movements. We give voice to humanity’s fight for dignity, to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) crisis, to anti-human trafficking, to the power of Cause Tech, and to the urgent need for mental health advocacy. Every word we share is a stand for justice, innovation, and healing.

This is our mission. This is our voice. 🪶

PROJECTS

INDIGENOUS MISSING PEOPLE & HUMAN TRAFFICKING

MMIP Advocates

MMIP stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (or Persons). It refers to a crisis of disproportionate violence, abuse, and homicide against Indigenous individuals, particularly women, girls, and two-spirit people, in the U.S. and Canada. It is also a movement aimed at increasing awareness, improving reporting, and addressing systemic failures in these cases.

Our work includes supporting families of Missing or Murdered Indigenous People by improving communication with law enforcement, providing resources, and pushing for justice in cases of violence against Native Americans.

DIVERSITY EMPOWERMENT & INCLUSION (DEI)

United Nations Delegates & Speakers

We are part of the TechCeDaCos delegation (an organization in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council) and the Mastering Diversity ecosystem.

As delegates, we speak at the Global Empowerment and Inclusion Summit at the United Nations’ Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, and contribute to conversations with UN Women at United Nations Headquarters in New York, highlighting the atrocity of child sex trafficking and the #MMIWGT2S movement, as well as the ongoing homicide epidemic impacting Indigenous women, in order to drive lasting awareness, mobilize action, and advance meaningful reforms to protect the most vulnerable. 🪶

CAUSE TECH™️

UR VOICE™️ – Child Safety Smart Button

UR VOICE™️ is a child safety smart button placed in schools and public spaces for children who are in danger but unable to say so. It supports those facing abuse, trafficking, neglect, or coercive control—especially when phones, apps, or private communication are not accessible.

There are already ways for students to ask for help—apps, hotlines, or talking to a teacher. But these options don’t work for every student.

Many students live under constant surveillance, where even seeking help can put them at greater risk. Trauma often suppresses disclosure, and some are neurologically unable to speak, even when directly asked by a trusted adult.

UR VOICE™️ removes the need for words. With a single press, a child can safely signal for help without explanation or exposure.

UR VOICE™️ ensures that even in silence, they are heard. 🪶

MEET JAN AND JOY

Jan and Joy, twin sisters and proud members of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, are powerful forces reshaping the narrative around Indigenous resilience, advocacy, and representation. As survivors of childhood abuse and sex trafficking, they are united in their mission to protect, uplift, and amplify the voices of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Transgender, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2S) individuals—while pushing boundaries in their respective fields of art, technology, and media.

Together, Jan and Joy are the authors of SAVAGE—a harrowing, unflinching memoir chronicling their survival as adopted Indigenous twins trapped in a sadistic house of horrors. The book reveals the chilling reality of childhood abuse and sex trafficking hidden in plain sight, and stands as a testament to their strength, sisterhood, and unwavering fight for justice.

More than creatives and advocates, Jan and Joy are a movement. Through lived experience, ancestral strength, and unstoppable purpose, they bridge the sacred and the modern to ensure Indigenous voices are honored, protected, and empowered for generations to come. 🪶

Jan, a nationally recognized advocate, is a fierce voice in the MMIWGT2S movement. She provides unwavering support to other Indigenous survivors and their families through her leadership role with the Chaa’ishmal Foundation and as a donor to Native News Online’s Founders Circle. Her work ensures culturally grounded recovery services and community-based storytelling remain accessible to urban Indigenous populations. An award-winning digital artist and pioneer in 3D spatial technology, Jan blends her heritage with innovation—earning her New York’s esteemed Vanguard Award for excellence in a nontraditional career path. 🪶

Joy has a background in digital marketing with global experience across B2B, B2C, tech, e-commerce, and SaaS. She specializes in growth marketing, digital strategy, conversion rate optimization (CRO), paid media, and strategic storytelling that drives measurable business outcomes. She’s led integrated marketing, content, and PR initiatives, building and guiding high-performing teams across the U.S. and U.K.

Alongside her professional work, she is pursuing advanced study in counseling psychology, grounding her advocacy in trauma-informed care, psychosocial assessment, active listening, and culturally responsive, community-based approaches to care.

She has served as editor-in-chief of digital publications and ghostwritten and edited books, including commissioned works for the British Home Office and the Royal Navy. She brings deep expertise in brand development, executive visibility, media relations, and thought leadership, helping organizations and leaders shape credible, high-impact narratives.

As a Native American of the Kiowa and Apache Tribes of Oklahoma and an advocate for the MMIWG2S movement, she has spoken internationally on the ongoing crisis impacting Indigenous women, including at the United Nations in Geneva and with UN Women in New York, contributing to global conversations on human rights, policy, and prevention. She is a Lead Writer for the Indigenous Women’s Writers Guild and a member of the Human Trafficking Team, contributing to documentation, grant writing, narrative development, and translating field insights into policy and funding frameworks.

She has also co-delivered a TEDx talk with her twin sister, featured on TED.com, one of the few to spotlight two speakers. The presentation explored Indigenous storytelling across traditional and immersive media, and the role of empathy, cultural memory, and emerging technology in driving connection and advocacy.

Outside of her professional work, she is a digital artist creating work centered on voice, identity, and agency. Her practice integrates language and design to produce pieces that promote empowerment, self-determination, and self-authored narratives.🪶
