Jo Jo Ruby: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A flower child who grew up during the Nixon era with a front-row seat in politics thanks to my mother 
• Married to Danny for a dozen years. We met in high school, but I married someone else from high school before him! 
• The proud parent of two Havanese rescue dogs from Havanese Angel League Organization for Rescue – Sparky and Delilah, my hearts 
• Walking the walk to make invisible, underserved people visible and valued. Follow me on my journey to quietly light up the world. 
• A person who enjoys demolition derbies, racing cars, fourwheeling, boating, jet skiing, and zip lining 
• Someone whose favorite vacation spot is Le Blanc Spa Resort in Mexico 
• A person who has worked in law firms since age 14 including managing Covington’s IT worldwide 
• A lover of everything ’70s – music, discos, clothing, peace, love, and my besties from childhood 
• Especially grateful to my late Mother who stood up for what she believed in and changed thousands of lives. I strive to honor her legacy. 
• Someone who values freedom, peace, faith, honesty, and truth. My Type A personality is a work in progress.
