Christina Jones

Christina Jones

Christina M. Jones is a survivor and a champion for change. Having experienced sexual assault, she has transformed her lived experience into a powerful force for advocacy and reform, particularly for marginalized communities. Her journey—from survivor to leader—has been defined by resilience, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to creating systems that empower, uplift, and protect those in need.

Today, Christina serves as Chief Executive of External Relations for BWJP, a national nonprofit at the forefront of systemic reform in the criminal and civil justice systems for survivors of gender-based violence. Her leadership has been pivotal, transforming BWJP’s reach and impact through strategic partnerships, innovative communications, and an astounding 1500% increase in funding, including numerous six- and seven-figure foundation grants. Christina’s work at BWJP is deeply informed by her personal journey, and she uses her voice and experience to amplify the needs of survivors across the country.

Before joining BWJP, Christina’s unique background shaped her career in criminal justice. As a former prosecutor focused on sexual violence cases, she connected with survivors on a personal level, understanding both their pain and resilience. In her roles at the DC Office of the Attorney General (OAG), she implemented impactful youth policies and programs, including the DC Teen Dating Violence Summit, which empowered youth to navigate issues of consent and safety. Earlier, as Assistant Chief for the Criminal and Juvenile Section, she supervised attorneys, shaped criminal justice policy, and co-developed the Special Victims Unit, becoming an advocate within a system she aimed to reform from the inside out.

Christina’s commitment to change goes beyond legal advocacy. She is a passionate mentor and advocate for Emerging Leaders, fostering the next generation of changemakers. She has led training sessions for large audiences, designed federal and private-sector workshops, and developed dynamic programs that help leaders connect, support, and amplify their voices. Her workshops have empowered Emerging Leaders across various industries, equipping them with tools to navigate complex challenges, champion innovation, and make meaningful contributions. Christina’s dedication to mentoring young professionals is evident in the countless leaders who now carry forward her teachings of justice, resilience, and purpose.

In addition to her role at BWJP, Christina is the founder and CEO of Command Joy Co. LLC, a consulting firm dedicated to sexual assault prevention, sexual harassment training, and safety within faith-based organizations. Through Command Joy Co., Christina has extended her advocacy into faith communities, helping congregations create safer environments. In 2024, her “Breaking Silence: Black Women, Sexual Assault, and the Church” conversation series reached over 4,500 people, sparking vital discussions on safety, healing, and justice.

Christina’s expertise and voice have also resonated through media, with her insights featured in Time Magazine, Sirius XM Urban Radio, CBS Radio, Yahoo News, and numerous legal journals. Her writings advocate for Black women and girls, shedding light on issues that are often overlooked, and creating a platform for the marginalized.

Christina resides in Washington, DC, with her husband Jason, their son Xavier, and their cat Zamunda. A leader at home and in her community, she serves as the PTO President at her son’s school and is a member of Mocha Moms DC Chapter. Guided by her faith and a commitment to justice, Christina’s journey is a powerful narrative of resilience, leadership, and the belief that we can build a world where justice, safety, and dignity belong to all.

Conférencière en Développement Personnel par le Sport – Kinésithérapeute, Experte en Santé et Bien-être

Passionnée par l’amélioration de la vie personnelle et professionnelle à travers le sport, la nutrition et la gestion du bien-être, je me consacre à aider les individus à retrouver leur équilibre, à se dépasser et à prendre en main leur propre transformation.

Diplômée en kinésithérapie, j’ai exercé pendant plus de cinq ans, dont deux années en accompagnement individuel intensif avec mes patients. Cette expérience m’a permis de voir de près à quel point les souffrances physiques et émotionnelles sont interconnectées. Fascinée par la volonté humaine et notre capacité à transformer nos vies, j'ai complété ma formation avec un master en management de la santé et des certifications en nutrition. Je me suis spécialisée dans l'impact du rythme circadien, de l’alimentation, et de l’activité physique sur la performance et le bien-être global.

En plus de ma carrière de kinésithérapeute, mon parcours personnel a profondément façonné mon approche du développement personnel. Après avoir traversé un burn-out, des troubles alimentaires sévères, et des défis émotionnels, j’ai découvert que le sport pouvait être un moteur puissant de guérison. C’est en me lançant des défis sportifs comme la préparation d’un marathon que j’ai repris le contrôle de ma vie, en retrouvant la santé mentale et physique, tout en réapprenant à m’aimer et à prendre soin de moi.

Aujourd’hui, je partage cette approche lors de conférences dynamiques et inspirantes, où je montre comment chacun peut devenir l’entrepreneur de sa propre vie. Que vous soyez dirigeant, entrepreneur ou simplement en quête de bien-être, je vous aide à dépasser vos limites, à développer votre détermination et à entreprendre des actions concrètes pour améliorer votre vie.

Je crois fermement que, quel que soit votre métier ou vos responsabilités, vous avez le pouvoir d’agir pour transformer votre existence à travers le changement, l’adaptation et la discipline sportive. Mon objectif est de vous transmettre cette vision, et de vous donner les outils pour que vous puissiez créer votre propre version du succès, tant physique que mental.

Thématiques de conférence :

Dépassement de soi et motivation par le sport : Comment le défi sportif peut devenir un levier puissant pour la transformation personnelle.
Gestion du stress et équilibre de vie : Utiliser l’activité physique pour trouver l’harmonie entre vie professionnelle et personnelle.
L’impact du rythme circadien et de la nutrition : Optimiser votre santé et vos performances grâce à une gestion éclairée de votre rythme biologique.
La prise de décision et l’action : Devenir l'entrepreneur de votre propre vie, en instaurant des changements concrets et durables.
