Joy Lisette Plummer Llorens was born in Houston, TX to Willman James "Bill" Plummer Sr. and Netholia Ann Yelling Plummer on September 8, 1975. Joy grew up here in Houston, where she was confirmed and continued to attend St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. Upon
graduation from B.T. Washington High School, Joy attended Texas A&M University (Go Aggies!), where she earned a B. A. degree in Journalism. Joy began her education career with Aldine Independent School District as an elementary language arts teacher and went
