Husband and wife team, Dr. Mayor and Bisi are both co-founders of Joy and Joe baby wraps. 

Bisi is an astute entrepreneur, budding public speaker and babywearing consultant (SoB CIC.). She is a mother of two. An OFSTED registered childminder and governor in two special needs primary schools. She has been involved in several charity works as well. She started and ran a support group for parents of disabled children in Wigan. She also took part in many SCOPE activities such as meeting at the UK House of Common with MPs and Speaker of the House of Parliament. She also took part at a Charity event with music mogul Simon Cowell. In 2012, she won the prestigious Mumsclubs award as one of the top 100 business mums in the UK. She was awarded “Mum of the Year” in 2013 by Women for Africa Organization, London. In addition to that, she has undertaken business courses during her MSc study at the University of Nottingham and she's also the leader for Bolton Women Unlimited.
Bisi's journey into babywearing was inspired by her children, Joy and Joseph's difficult start in life. She was inspired by the desire to encourage other parents to enjoy the benefits of carrying their children with comfort and style. Babywearing her children stirred up the nostalgic memories that Bisi holds dear to her heart whilst growing up in West Africa. With her love of textiles passed down from her late grandmother who was one of the popular textile (Swiss lace fabrics and Kanga style fabrics) dealers on Lagos Island and her grand-father who was a notable fabric beret maker in the 80s, Bisi was surrounded with textile entrepreneurs whilst growing up. With her penchant for a family friendly business and her creative inquisitiveness, all the experiences from different facets of life have prepared Bisi for Joy and Joe baby wraps and there's no looking back for her!
