She’s a collector of accolades, having been celebrated as Vegas Inc’s Women Inspiring Nevada in 2021, the proud recipient of the Soroptimist International of Las Vegas 2020 Ruby Award, and honored with the Clark County Law Foundation’s 2019 Champion of Justice Through Service.

Her speaking engagements include some amazing companies like: Lululemon, Rimini Street, TEDx, Hard Rock, the City of Las Vegas, and Zappos.
Joy’s personal life is as vibrant as her professional journey. Joy and her husband Phil just celebrated 18 years of marriage, 15 years of entrepreneurship, and 11 years of therapy (because, let’s face it, we all need it). Joy and Phil are on a mission to make the world a safer place and they’re not just talking about it, they’re linking arms with their community and knocking down barriers. Their latest endeavor, ‘Esōes Cosmetics,’ is gaining massive notoriety as the first-ever patented personal safety cosmetics line. These products combine beauty, science, and technology to fight the epidemic of drug-facilitated sexual assault and violence.
So, whether she’s leading a movement of change, creating impact from the stage, or revolutionizing the cosmetics industry, Joy Hoover is the epitome of passion, purpose, and pure, unadulterated fun. She’s not only a trailblazer; she’s a human who gives a sh*t!
