C’Josette

C’Josette was born in Macon, Georgia and is the youngest of three siblings. She grew up in a military family and experienced traveling all over the world. C’Josette also became a military spouse at the young age of 22 and had the pleasure of continuing her journey to touch ground on many soils. While stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, one of her biggest accomplishments was being elected Vice Mayor and becoming Mayor. During this very prestigious time in office, C’Josette experienced some of the biggest obstacles she had to overcome in her life.

After many attempts and struggles to get back on her feet after each obstacle, she finally decided to move back to her home state. This allowed her to assist her parents in continuing their success in running a family owned business, a home health company whose focus is on assisting the elderly and disabled. C’Josette then became the company's supervisor and care coordinator and currently serves in that role today. She always kept her personal goals in mind. Her passion not only for hair and skin, but to restore it to its natural beautiful state, pushed her to enroll in school. She graduated magna cum laude with a certificate in Master Cosmetology. She also studied at Trichology Training Institute and earned an Associate Degree in Business. With those tools, C’Josette was able to pursue her entrepreneurial goals and started her own hair and skin beauty line.

In December of 2018, she suffered the tragic loss of her only sister. This loss gave her the strength to move forward and found a non-profit organization, Suffered in Silence (S.I.S.), dedicated to helping and uplifting those in need. C'Josette knew that the name alone would send a very powerful message and resonate with a lot of people. She hoped it would encourage those who feel alone or helpless to speak up and speak out. It is an outreach program geared toward both men and women, military veterans, and active duty/enlisted members who may be experiencing mental health Issues or domestic violence issues and are afraid to speak up and seek help. It is one of her top priorities because she knows that some of her sister’s darkest secrets were also some of the things that inadvertently took her to her grave.

C'Josette’s passion to help those in need does not stop with her non-profit. She has volunteered with many organizations for countless hours. She enjoys volunteering for Autism Speaks, participating in the annual Breast Cancer walks, and even dedicating time to the elderly at assisted living facilities. Her giving heart allows her to impact many people and communities across her home state and many times, other states.

C'Josette has 3 children, all of adult age, and she is married for the second time to her high school sweetheart after reconnecting after almost 30 years. Her passion to lead and create new projects, as well as a desire and integrity to help and guide people, has allowed her to continue to fight not only for herself, but for those who want and need help because they may fear being judged.
