Keona Jones is a transformational speaker and self-love coach for women who want more for their lives. But really, she is a heart healer. A bondage breaker. A rod holder who is leading women to lives free of shame, settling and sacrificing everything they really want for the sake of what they believe they’re good enough to have.

Like most trusted advisors, Keona finds her way into women’s hearts with transparency and truth. Always an open book, she willingly turns the pages of her life story to reveal how God has turned her pain into power. Becoming a mother at fifteen, Keona discovered early that she was built to fight—for her dreams, voice and significance. She paved a path to success for herself that included earning a master’s degree, a managerial career and, ultimately, marriage. But when she was blindsided by betrayal that led to divorce, Keona uncovered personal wounds that still needed to be healed, those private places where her enoughness as a woman had never been affirmed.

 So she set out to rebuild, and soon realized that on the other side of her disruption was her destiny, a calling to use God’s Word as a sword to help women sever ties with men who can’t love them and lives that can’t fulfill them. Through her coaching, Keona is facilitating one breakthrough after the next, helping her clients to unlearn everything that’s holding them back. The result? A new breed of bold women who will never—ever—feel inferior again. 

Keona holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies from Washington Bible College and an MBA from University of Maryland University College. She lives in Maryland with her amazing three children. For twelve years, she’s led small groups at the renowned Zion Church where she also teaches emerging ministry leaders how to build communities that connect and change the people in them.
