Jolie Bernard and Kiva Reynolds are partners in purpose—both women have a passion for community engagement and making connections between people and potential. By working collaboratively, they are able to expand their individual footprints to help more people across communities in the Greater New Orleans Region and surrounding parishes together.
As Principal Owner and Chief Strategist for The Bernard Group, Jolie offers strategic communications and branding consulting. In 2021, her firm received a PRSA New Orleans Chapter Anvil and Award of Excellence. At Fidelity, Kiva focuses on small businesses, helping clients achieve their financial goals. A 2020 Graduate of the Accelerated Leadership Program at Fidelity Bank, Kiva was named the 2021 Ambassador of the Year for the New Orleans Regional Black Chamber of Commerce.
For both women, community is a cornerstone of their passion and work.
“My mission is anchored in living selflessly and working tirelessly to create meaningful, purposeful, and impactful outcomes for as many people as I can,” says Jolie. In addition to her executive leadership role at The Bernard Group and in several non-profits, Jolie is also the founder of four non-profit organizations of her own: The Future Forward Foundation, Alton J. Dugas Foundation, The Soapbox Campaign, Inc., and The Monarch Society.
Using her knowledge and expertise to help clients achieve financial success, Kiva is consistently inspired by her clients’ accomplishments. She has watched many emerge from some of the most challenging personal and professional years of their lives during the pandemic. Kiva enjoys her ability to work together with clients and team members to make a difference in the community she’s proud to serve.
