Marianela Joli
I’m a motivational speaker, image designer, model, actress, and beauty queen. I graduated from college as a computer systems engineer.
I’ve gotten involved in the community through charity fundraisers. I have been volunteering and working with non-profit organizations. Some organizations are Foundation Bonds of Love and Hope, Casa Valentina, Ronald McDonald House, Dade-County Bar Association, Zoo Miami, American Cancer Society, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Fashion Night on Brickell, and more.
I like to speak from the heart, give back to the community, and build new and stronger relationships, socially and professionally. I believe in traditional values and faith, honor, respect for family, diligent work ethics, absolute values of right and wrong, honesty, wholesome leadership, respect towards authority, and moderation rather than excess.
The family is the most important gift that God has given us. A steady and consistent family unit is the basis, the nucleus, the center, or every society. Family means the learning of those first lessons in relationships with others. It is the learning and the passing of the benefits of discipline, hard work, responsibility, giving day to day roles models of how to be loving and kind to one another, encouraging and supportive to our children, these sort of elements which cause marriages to last, and families to succeed.

My interest in philanthropy started at a young age. It became clearer during my years working for United Way. There, I gained vital knowledge about nonprofits and how to help others.
I love collaborating with others that want to make a difference by getting involved with fashion events, galas, luncheons, toy drives, providing school supplies. I am currently a member of organizations like Pink Purse Society, The Palm Event, RENU, Fashion Night on Brickell, and the Joli Foundation.
I had the pleasure to help nonprofits like United Way and Habitat for Humanity. I also collaborated with Dog Ranch, A Safe Haven for Newborns, Place of Hope, George Snow Scholarship, Little Smiles Florida, Un Paso a la Vez, St. Jude Research Hospital, Casa Valentina, and Miami Rescue Mission.
It is a great fulfillment for me to support our community by providing services, monetary support, and volunteering for organizations needing assistance. We created The Joli Foundation to help our communities by raising funds or providing services where is needed the most. It is an honor and great pleasure to be part of the Joli Foundation.
I have worked with designers as a model, casting director, fashion show producer. I have been involved in music production, assisted women by choosing their wardrobes for beauty pageants, business, and private life. I have coached male and female models on how to walk and conduct themselves in the fashion industry. I have dedicated part of my journey in the fashion industry to lending my talent to produce fashion events for charity. I raised funds for Casa Valentina, Un Pazo a la Vez, The Bahamas, Miami Rescue Mission, Place of Hope, and Little Smile.

She captures the people and allures the courts with her professional savvy and dynamic heart. Mayra Joli was born in the Dominican Republic.
Mayra, an excellent wife, mother, attorney, and friend, is our very own “Jenny from the block.” Her persona is stellar, and it encompasses that she is known as an individual who allures her audience, is an ambassador for her nation, and advocates for true social justice. The social justice in which everyone can reach an equal set of opportunities. A social justice that provides for the platform to create our outcome. A type of social justice that promotes individual responsibilities.
Beyond beauty and her law degree, Mayra is frequently featured on TV and a blog writer. And within this public domain is where you find her mission come to life. One can quickly identify that she is a strong voice for the vulnerable. She cares deeply and compassionately for the causes of anyone in need. She is a powerful force to be reckoned with within her community and sphere of influence. Cultivating a personal sense of style, she walks confidently and speaks affectionately and firmly behind the most pressing issues tugging her heart. She furthers her mission and causes by partnering with other well-established non-profits: Dade Legal Aid, Autism Speaks, Casa Valentina, Miami Rescue Mission, among others.
Mayra states, “My participation in these philanthropic pursuits is for individuals and organizations to find their voice through me and open doors for help, guidance, and direction. For me, this includes a social platform for advocacy to thrive. Our office is much like opening my living room. We enjoy laughter, move initiatives, and enjoy round table lunches.”
