Meet Jojo White

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jojo White a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jojo, so great to have you on the platform. There’s so much we want to ask you, but let’s start with the topic of self-care. Do you do anything for self-care and if so, do you think it’s had a meaningful impact on your effectiveness?

Being a comedian, traveling a lot, and going out in front of crowds I’ve learned that I need self care.

I found myself getting burnt out mentally and just sleeping for hours on hours in the day. I started to lose myself.

The kind of self care I’ve really focused on is making sure I get enough rest, not putting pressure on myself performing wise and that means having more confidence in my abilities. Also, not eating like a raccoon and eating trash all the time! It’s hard cause being on the road it’s easy to just eat fast food, but I’m really being mindful of where I eat. The most important thing is leaning in on my faith. Knowing God put me in these positions with a gift to bring happiness to everyone.

Doing all this has helped me to perform better! It’s taken weight off my shoulders and it’s allowed me to be my true self on stage.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

My name is Jojo White and I’m a standup comedian.

I go around the country performing for all kinds of people and many stages!
The thing I love about what I do is for that hour I’m taking my audiences focus off their struggles and pain, to bring them laughter.

Most of my material is relatable so people listen to my crazy stories and see that I’m still happily moving forward on this thing we call life.

Im excited cause i believe in 2025 that I’ll be all over the united states and even branching out into other countries.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I believe the three most important qualities of my journey are faith, confidence, and preparation.

Faith, because it’s changed my perspective on how I handle audience, the highs, the lows, the surprises, and it’s taken the thing I love and showed me the purpose.

My confidence, sometimes ya gotta fake it till you make it haha For real tho, people won’t believe you until you believe in yourself.

Preparation, stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. That’s for anything.

For everyone on there journey, you have to do the small things to reach the big things. Take care of your faith because it will make you better for the future. Make a weekly schedule and devote time to growing in these areas.

Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?

When I feel overwhelmed I go into prayer and after I have such a peace because it’s a reminder that i have the opportunity for a reason. Whether it goes great or bad, if i give my best from preparation then the purpose will be served.

Go deeper within yourself. Ask questions.
