We had the good fortune of connecting with Joseph Navarro and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Joseph, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
JJ Publishing was first founded in 1980 off of my grandmother’s first book, “Desairology: Hairdressing for Decendent’s”
Which is the practice of viewing a deceased person in their funeral viewing.
This company publishes educational course work for the cosmetology industry….. My grandmother’s material went into 50 countries…….
My grandmother coined and invented this industry. Noella Charest-Papagno was an innovator in the cosmetology industry and she created an industrial wave of change for the greater growth of women…..
JJ publishing supports #womensrights and in the future I homemade multiple additions to my grandmother’s contributions to the cosmetology, publishing and funeral industries..
This company is the original content creator of “Desairology” also known as “mortuary cosmetology.”.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Oh gosh……
Reigniting my grandmother’s publishing company has been very hard. In the beginning I struggled with the editor regaining control over the company accounts. I had found out through a cousin of mine that my grandmother dealt with the same struggles with the editor….. Him not releasing her account to her….
Overtime within the first 3 months I started to uncover evidence on elder abuse and copyright infringement….. A lot to do with the editor of the company as he destroyed opportunities of monetization when he manipulated the books and created fraudulent ISBN numbers on the back of each book.
For the last 18 months I’ve been building case evidence and copyright infringement to bring forth to an attorney. Currently at the moment I believe my grandmother’s material is in multiple beauty schools and I am preparing for multiple lawsuits for the future of this company.
I’ve been building case evidence on copyright infringement and criminal copyright infringement. I was able to find out that my grandmother’s material is in india.
There are other publishing companies certifying my potential students on copyrighted material. Like test booklets that have been updated without permission from the copyright owner.
It’s been incredibly overwhelming and a long lonely journey as I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my material as I am the heir to first of It’s kind copyrighted material that lays in the cosmetology industry…..
My grandmother’s story doesn’t finish early or end soon, her story is just about to begin.
I will stand and fight for my grandmother, for her respect and for the royalties that are owed to this company.
In the beginning I just wanted to write children’s books….. I have a few ideas…. But first and foremost it starts with children at an early age with proper lessons and teaching on life and how to respect others. How to love animals and how to show respect to your elders.
Whenever I have a chance I like to sit down and continue journaling on my first children’s story….. It will be called….
“Bandit and The Beetle”
My dog will play himself and I will be playing the part and the character of a beetle.
A story about two opposites that become friends. A story about a healthy love and a healthy friendship and where those two ideas could take people in their future.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Favorite spots in the city? There’s so many….
I we start off taking them down to Hollywood Beach, on the boardwalk to go check out the band show on a Thursday night when they have live music playing….. Maybe check out Margaritaville or “Le Tub Saloon”.
Great burger place and it is the home of the 1 lb cheeseburger. Very interesting little eclectic restaurant. It’s been around forever and it’s very…… Artistically inclined towards toilets and bathtubs as they are everywhere on the property……
After a couple days spent on Hollywood Beach I would head down to Miami Beach. There’s a great burger and milkshake spot off of Collins and 69th I believe……
Best cookies and cream milkshake along with a delicious cheeseburger stacked with fried onion rings….. Something about a nice cold milkshake on a very hot day, in Miami sounds quite appealing…..
Now after I’ve gone to Miami Beach with my friends I would head down to downtown Miami and check out Bay Front….
For my birthday I haven’t jumped on the Metro rail and took it around the downtown Miami to check out all the highlights and spots. I would probably go down to the science museum in downtown Miami and check out wynwood for all the artistic features of the city…..
Something about this graffiti artwork is quite appealing especially when it rebuilds older parts of the city for new generations to come….
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Women……
18 months ago when I first relaunched and reignited my inheritance….. I found a lot of resistance when I spoke about my ideas and my grandmother’s ideas to my guy friends. They couldn’t understand what I was talking about when I started talking about hair skin and nails, cosmetology stuff….
Honestly guys often talk a lot of smack want to talk about this cosmetology company and where my ideas will lay for the future….
When I was looking for support from a group of guy friends I found none….. Although when I speak to women about what I’m doing I find a lot of support from them.
So therefore JJ publishing will support women just as much.
