TESTIMONIALS
“I truly look at things differently after hearing Ajiri speak and reading her book. We all deserve more joie in our lives!” - Nashville Antiques and Gardens Show attendee
"Recently I got the gift of listening to Ajiri Aki speak about Joie at the Nashville Antiques and Garden Show. Ajiri moved me by the powerful way she has taken her childhood loss of her beautiful Mother, to choose to live each day with joy. Listening to her speak I felt the gift of our beautiful lives we have the joy of living. Weeks after hearing Ajiri she still has me thinking daily about how to slow down, use beautiful things like my china daily and look for joy everywhere around me." - Susan Weathersby, Co-chair Nashville Antiques & Garden Show
"I had the pleasure of inviting Ajiri Aki to be a speaker about the Josephine Baker Symposium at the American University of Paris in Fall 2023. She spoke about the Baker Lifestyle as it related to her book, Joie. The talk was engaging, insightful, and creative. Her eloquent communication style greatly enriched our program. Aki's inspiring talk showcased not only technical prowess but also her passion for cultural connections." - Jeannine Cook, Founder, Harriet’s Bookshop
