Jokia engages in a deep conversation with Jekalyn Carr, a close friend and a host on Praise 102.5. During the conversation Jokia gets vulnerable and talks about her time going through a miscarriage. The Gospel singer details how hard the experience was, “I went through the I V F got pregnant, I remember declaring in 2023. I told my friend, I said 2024 I will be pregnant 2024. I remember I was in Houston, I was singing and as I’m walking up to go on the stage, as I’m wearing pants, those of y’all that know, no, those of you don’t know. It’s adult diapers. I was going through the process of miscarrying. January 31st, the first I woke up and everything was I’m releasing that child and it was heartbreaking. I was embarrassed. I said, God, I’m embarrassed.

The Texas native also talks about overcoming that obstacle with her husband and now they are expecting a baby, “All I can say is I will rise above this. I went back to go through the I V F process and they said, you’re gonna have to pay for this when the military is not gonna pay for it. I said, God, now I got to come up with the money for, it was already covered you had already covered the cost. Now, I have to pay for it. You know, anything about I V F if it’s not cheap. So I have one more embryo left. We put the embryo in and today I’m pregnant.”
