Today we’d like to introduce you to Joanna Suazo.
Hi Joanna, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am the founder of Its JoJo, LLC. I decided to become a mobile bartender after working many years behind the bar and having fun with cocktail making along with learning the science behind what it takes to make various spirits, wines, beers, etc. and share that knowledge with my customers. In 2019, I got the unexpected news that I was going to become a mother in one month’s time to a beautiful baby boy. During this transitional change in my life and being a single mother, the encountered challenges and providing all the things my son deserved gave me the push and motivation to turn my passion into a business.
Staying up late nights, bumps on the road, networking as much as possible has allowed me to fulfill a few goals to get where I am now.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not quite, I’ve encountered a few bumps on the road along my journey. Some struggles that I’ve came across are wasted time and financial costs. Specific examples include being hired for a gig/event then the customer disappears and unable to reach them before the event happens.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Its JoJo, LLC?
Whether it’s a small gathering or business event, Its JoJo assists clients with professional and one of a kind service for bar services!

We care about our customers and there’s nothing more important to me than executing a successful bar experience. We work closely with our customers to meet their expectations, consult recommendations on the quantity needed, and collaborate when custom drinks are requested.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
Currently, I am working on various projects to expand the brand and offer more services/items for our customers. Liquor making, signature cocktail ready to drink, mixers are just a few things in the list. Overall, I have a positive outlook on the Its JoJo brand growing more.
