Women on the Rise: Looking on the Bright Side with Jo Elizabeth Pinto

In this inspiring Women on the Rise episode of the BFF Empowerment Podcast, host Blaque Diamond sits down with author, mother, and braille proofreader Jo Elizabeth Pinto to talk about the power of storytelling, perseverance, and passion.

With nearly 30 years of experience as a braille proofreader and six books under her belt, Jo’s story is one of creativity, resilience, and dedication to her craft.

Blaque Diamond and Jo connect deeply as fellow authors, discussing their shared love for self-publishing, the rewards of winning literary awards, and the fulfillment that comes from touching readers’ lives through their words. Together, they celebrate the beauty of writing, the courage it takes to share your truth, and the impact of empowering stories written by women who refuse to be limited by circumstance.
