Owole Joy Lawani is a passionate registered nurse with a rich heritage. She founded J.S. Glory Lounge as a labor of love and a tribute to the flavors that have shaped her life.

After impacting countless lives as a compassionate and skilled registered nurse, Joy's love for crafting authentic African meals drove her to embark on a new adventure. J.S. Glory Lounge is more than a restaurant - it's a manifestation of Joy's unwavering dedication to her family, her culture, and her dreams.

Having spent much of her adult life away from home, she understands the profound role that food plays in maintaining and passing down culture. Fueled by this belief, Joy is excited to transition to full-time entrepreneurship, showcasing the power of self-ownership and inspiring others to dream big.

Having meticulously honed her culinary skills in her kitchen, Joy now delights patrons with her delectable African dishes. J.S. Glory Lounge is her vision of a welcoming space where the vibrant flavors of Africa meld with heartfelt hospitality, creating an environment that celebrates culture, family, and culinary excellence.
