Our Purpose. Our Heart. Our Posture.

LoDeana Jones

Founder & President

LoDeana Jones is the Founder and President of Postured In Kindness, and she lives this mission every day. Driven by the belief that everyone deserves to experience compassion, and that true kindness enriches both the giver and the receiver, LoDeana has dedicated her life to her community.

She brings more than 14 years of entrepreneurship as the owner of her own professional cleaning service, along with years of nonprofit work. From coordinating hospitality initiatives to working directly with the unhoused community, she brings hands-on expertise, strong operational sense, and a real understanding of grassroots community needs. A self-described "sister's keeper," LoDeana was shaped by growing up in a single-parent household, where she learned the value of showing up for the people you love.

Beyond North Texas, LoDeana serves as Chief Community Organizer for Give Me Shelter California, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving people experiencing homelessness and housing instability throughout Southern California and Southern Nevada.

A true survivor, LoDeana is driven by a passion to break generational cycles and to advocate for the dignity, mental health, and safety of the underserved, especially children. Her leadership philosophy is simple: step in wherever you see a need.
