Get to know a little about JoAnn Hodges, the owner and head designer of Favors4Life. She was interviewed by Voyage Baltimore magazine.
The first 90 minutes of my day consist of having “Morning Devotion”. I pray, read scriptures from the Bible, and listen to/sing Gospel music. I feel that spending time with God is essential to the start of a great day.

Hello readers, my name is JoAnn Hodges. I am a lifelong resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the owner/head designer of Favors4Life.
Favors4Life has taken artistry to the confectionery marketplace, consistently creating unique seasonal and themed arrangements.
In addition to specializing in chocolate delicacies, we also offer DIY, “Fun with Chocolate” workshops for all ages.

My parents taught me the most about work. As a child, I remember both parents working at least 40 hours a week and sometimes more. They instilled the importance of having good work ethics in order to sustain financial independence.

If I could say one thing to my younger self, it would be to strive to make a difference in the world. There is nothing that you can’t do if you put your mind to it. Many times, we have dreams and visions but think that they are unreachable. I have learned over the years that if you pray, do research and educate yourself, there’s not much that one cannot learn to do.

The public version of me is the real me. I try to be consistent in how I show up, whether I’m with family, friends or in the community. I don’t like pretending to be someone I’m not, so what you see is genuinely who I am.

If I retired tomorrow I hope that my customers would miss the way I made their ideas come to life. I always go above and beyond to ensure every arrangement is a one-of-a-kind design. I believe they would remember that my business is an extension of my heart, built on spreading joy and celebrating life’s meaningful moments.
