Her book, “Life-Work on Purpose: 7 Pearls of Wisdom on Pressing Through Adversity, Walking Out Your Purpose, and Building a Lasting Legacy” has opened many doors for her to encourage mothers, motherly figures, and other life-nurturers, to unlock the power of perseverance, purpose, and legacy in their lives. Julia also enjoys working side-by-side with her daughter, Dr. Jasmine Zapata, where she is fondly referred to as “Mama-Jewel” in the “Beyond Beautiful Girl's Empowerment Leadership Academy” and “Life Is a Battle, But We Will Win” Resiliency Tours, both founded by her daughter. In addition, authors who are in the Motivational M.D. Publishing LLC family, also founded by her daughter, know her as “Coach Julia, the Author’s Doula.” Everyone who knows Julia, knows that she is a woman of faith and proud to be called a “child of God.” She has 40+ years of experience leading choral ministries, directing choirs, and training choir directors. She holds an associate degree in Theology and enjoys ministering hope and inspiration to God’s people. She is founder of the “Triumphant in Worship V.I.P. Experience,” where she also enjoys encouraging teams through music ministry workshops, prayer breakfasts, break-out sessions, panel discussions, healing & renewal services, and more. Overall, whether ministering in the pulpit, building up music teams, empowering youth, mentoring parents, or coaching authors, Julia is most fulfilled when she is walking in her purpose, encouraging others to reach their highest potential.
