You might remember Joy Bryant from the movies Antwone Fisher and Get Rich or Die Tryin. Well this Bronx native is not only gracing the catwalk and movie screens but also getting her "shred on." Joy is now a contributor for Burton Women'slifestyle blog and a mentor for the Stoked Mentoring Program, which reaches out to inner city youth through action sports. Stoked teaches urban youth necessary skills for life, "goal-setting, overcoming obstacles, trust, communication, and respect," through snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing.
Watch Joy talks about her experience as a Stoked mentor.
Though featured on the NBC sitcom "Parenthood," Joy finds time to hit the slopes and advance her snowboarding skills. This season she hopes to do more tree runs and have more patience.
Kudos to Joy Bryant, being a model and actress did not stop her from pursing snowboarding. So what is holding you back from your board dreams? NOTHING!
