""In Joy Notes, Nio Quiero composes an anthem to life, written in the keys of resilience and grace. Her most remarkable book, which begins in Cuba and spans 50-plus years as she rises through losses and even death itself, to become a mother, wife, and executive-as a woman on a path with purpose and heart. Her stories are testaments to the enduring power of music and the human spirit to overcome and uplift, to find joy and call others to the dance. If you need to be reminded of the courage and joy that lies within you, pick up this book and let its melodies work on your heart."" -Malynn Utzinger Director of Integrative Practices at Promega ""Nio, you truly are an incredible person! I am absolutely amazed to learn that you have not only encountered the Matrix, but have emerged victorious from its depths. I am grateful for your generosity in sharing an excerpt from your book, which serves as a powerful testament to your unwavering resilience. Your ability to confront obstacles head-on and bounce back stronger than ever is truly remarkable. The memories of our time together at GNYHA remain vivid, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with someone as extraordinary as you, even if our time together was fleeting. Each of us embarks on a unique life journey, and it is during the pivotal moments that we can either succumb to the challenges or, like you, rise above them, dust ourselves off, and embrace the potential opportunities that lie ahead. Let us raise a toast to the better days that await us all. Remember, it's not over until the fat lady sings..."" - Cesar Limjoco, M.D. Chief Medical Officer, Board Advisor, Keynote Speaker T-Medicus LLC ""Work-life balance is so vitally important for us to have true happiness and joy. Still, realistically, it is hard to achieve, especially when you have social and economic obstacles of being an immigrant and a person of color, while your family is having difficult medical conditions in tandem with your health issues. In Nio's book, Joy Notes: Balancing the Trauma with Triumph, we get a close, intimate view of how she navigates the complexities of life using her resilient spirit, humor, tenacity, and MUSIC. Her multifaceted story touches on various topics, such as health equity, professionalism within the corporate world, the family dynamic, and learning how to reach out to friends for help. The book is a guide to help those in professional spaces, but it is more than that. It is a victorious story of someone who would not let anything stop her from living her best life. There is so much inspiration packed in the pages, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this book to everyone, and I say buy one for a friend. They will thank you for it, because we all need a friend like Nio who will cheer you on, no matter what. Her essence is just that powerful and transcends the pages of the book and jumps into your heart like the Joy Notes of your favorite tune."" -Vicquita Renee Health Equity Program Coordinator
