ABOUT
Joni was born on a sunny November afternoon, the first born of a set of twins to parents who decided not to keep their babies. When Sue Sylvester marched into the hospital to pick up the babies she had agreed to adopt she surprised the parents by letting them know that sheâd just be taking the older twin, as she had no time for people who placed second. If youâre not first youâre a loser and Sylvesters are not losers. Though Joni doesnât judge her birth parents for seeking better lives for their children, she DOES judge the fact that they willingly let a woman who called her twin a loser for simply being born second, take her home to raise her.Â
But, maybe it was all for the best, because Joni became tough as nails thanks to her mother. As a kid, her competitive edge shown early on, excelling as a competitive cheerleader under Sueâs coaching, as well as in dance and gymnastics. She had a natural talent that paired well with her determination and constant hard work and practice.Â
Though, thanks to Sue beingâŚwell, Sue, she needed to learn to protect herself emotionally rather early on. Her personality was as hard as her calf muscles, at least, thatâs what she let the world see. Those who are closest to her know that deep down she is warm and compassionate. She is never unkind if she can help it, she just feels a certain detachment to most people and situations and keeps everyone at armâs length.
After highschool, Joni continued to cheer, dance and compete in gymnastics for a college team, while gaining a degree in Kinesiology, studying the body and movement. She also became a certified personal trainer and started creating workout programs, and promoting them on Instagram and Tik Tok. The programs took off quickly, and Joni dove in head first, sheâs become a fitness influencer, though she focuses on body positivity, strengthening, and overall health, NOT weight loss, or unhealthy expectations and standards. She took an interest in learning pole dancing when she was in college, and about a year ago opened a studio where she now gives pole dancing lessons, with a team working under her. Of course, she also uses her program and studio to help promote Sueâs clothing brand, not wanting to be disowned, and her clients do enjoy a small discount from buying through her, but thatâs only a small part of her business and she likes to imagine that sheâd be just as successful without the connection to her motherâs success.
Sheâs just recently registered for classes at PSU, sheâll be getting her masters degree in nutrition and dietetics so that she can feel comfortable in launching a nutrition side to her Juicy Peach. She refuses to go in blind and doesnât trust anyone else to commit to her vision of total health. She will not offer diet plans, and doesnât trust anyone else to fully understand her need for the nutrition side of the company to remain about total health and never ever about being âskinnyâ.Â
