Introducing Her Majesty, Queen Latarisha βJoyβ Stanley, Queen Symphony X. πππ
Queen Joyβs life is rooted in faith, family, service, and a deep love for New Orleans culture. A devoted wife to Colonel Stephen Stanley, mother of five daughters, and grandmother to Easton, she has spent years supporting military families and leading with compassion in her professional life.
Joy has long been part of the Symphony family. As Queen, she hopes to bring generations together, celebrate the traditions we share, and help every person she meets feel seen and valued. Her crown marks a continuation of the service she has given throughout her life.
She lovingly dedicates her reign to the memory of her grandmother, Mae Eliza Young-Burkhalter-Thomas, whose faith and strength continue to guide her.
Please join us in celebrating Queen Joy and the reign ahead! π₯
