Adrien Lake serves as a communications strategist, nonprofit founder, and veteran media professional with more than two decades of experience at the intersection of media, public engagement, and community impact. Publicly known as Vonyetta during her radio career, she built a distinguished reputation as a media personality and professional DJ with more than 20 years of experience across radio, news, television, and entertainment, establishing herself as one of the region’s most recognized broadcast voices.

Following the tragic loss of her son, Julian, Adrien transformed personal grief into purpose by founding Ju’Stice, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing youth gun violence and supporting families impacted by violent crime. Since its launch, Ju’Stice has coordinated multi-agency Anonymous Gun Drop activations with law enforcement partners, resulting in a cumulative total of more than 2,000 high-powered rounds of ammunition and firearms removed from community circulation.

As part of its continued growth, Ju’Stice is preparing to launch the Ju’Stice Hotline, a safe reporting space designed specifically for youth to share concerns and access support related to violence and safety in their communities. The organization is also advancing Phase Two of the Drive the Future initiative, which will expand its Anonymous Gun Drop model statewide, with plans for a nationwide launch to follow.

Adrien is also the Founder & Principal of Nexus Point Strategy Group, a strategic communications and advisory firm that helps organizations navigate complex challenges, align stakeholders, and communicate with clarity during critical moments. The firm specializes in strategic communications, crisis management, public affairs strategy, and community engagement; advising leaders and institutions at the nexus point where strategy, coordination, and solutions meet.

Through every role, whether as a strategist, founder, or advocate, Adrien’s mission remains the same: to use communication, purpose, and collaboration to create meaningful impact and lasting change.
