Lisa Jey Davis is an award-winning writer, new media producer and the founder and principal of Jey Associates Marketing & PR. Her book Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood (due 2013) won best unpublished manuscript at New York Book Festival in 2007 and details her post-divorce years navigating "single-parent" life while pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. The book became the premise for her weekly blog Ms. Cheevious -- Enjoying Every Moment (www.mscheevious.com). The blog, along with the use of various social media platforms (YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook), sparked a widespread movement of Ms. Cheevious "people" -- supporters who follow the hilarious, indelible antics of a single woman and mother, living her dreams on her terms and despite the odds.
Prior to establishing Jey Associates, Lisa Jey worked in the glamorous world of entertainment television, managing show talent (Gwen Stefani, Sting, Sheryl Crow, Nellie Furtado, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder and more) for music-based one-hour specials on networks like MTV, VH-1, CBS, (some specials of note: the "NFL Super Bowl Bash," "A Motown Christmas," "MTV Movie Awards," "ICON," "Rock the Vote" and many others). She continues to produce for television and new media, as well as book talent for select projects.
Lisa Jey has written for publications and organizations such as The Associated Press, The New York Review, Aspen Sojourner Magazine and Mountain Parent (among many others). She has written television news and radio segments, as well as scripts for televised entertainment industry events. She's been the featured guest on "Sonic Byways" with Jamie Lynn Miller in Aspen, Colorado, interviewed by MovieRoomReviews.com, by James Wood for Technorati and more.
In addition to serving as publicist to a wide-ranging clientele, Lisa Jey has become somewhat of a dating and relationship aficionado. She's spoken to thousands at conferences, sharing her personal stories and hilarious anecdotes about her life as a contented single and offering relationship advice and brutally honest truths about the opposite sex to men and women. To single mothers pursuing their dreams, she encourages the balance of career with motherhood, as well as cultivating and maintaining physical and inner beauty and health. Her personal YouTube channel, "Enjoy Every Day With Lisa Jey," showcases weekly Thought for the Day segments and her "Ms. Cheevious" channel - an extension of the blog.
