Devona Coggs-Jones celebrates a fabulous 35th birthday

Milwaukee showed up and showed out to celebrate up and coming event concierge and Milwaukee’s 911 Dispatcher, Devona Coggs-Jones, aka “BabyBoss,” who was showered with love from family, friends, community leaders, and elected officials. It was a surprise, thanks to Milwaukee’s own social influencer and stylist, Joi Brown-Wingo.

The celebration was held at the Bronzeville Kitchen & Lounge, one of the newest contemporary hot spots.

The decor was dripping in pink, the food was soulful, savory, and delicious, and the music was bumping.

Dev is a resident of the Harambee neighborhood. She has been a quiet mover and shaker in her own right. She serves as vice-president of King Advisory Inc., at King Park, executing community and local events including: coordinator for the Juneteenth Parade, Festival and Freedom Ball, co-coordinator of the Bronzeville Kick-off Cultural Festival for the last two years, grassroots ceremonies, birthday, anniversaries, block club rallies and campaign events in Milwaukee.

Presently, she is executive producer of a documentary series about the Coggs legacy of public service in Wisconsin, the longest serving family in political and public service in the United States.

Devona Marcia is the granddaughter of Marcia Priscilla and Isaac Coggs, Molly Jones and Raymond Weaver; daughter of Elizabeth Coggs and Wendell Jones and sister of Supervisor Priscilla and Chloe Coggs-Jones.

Dev thanked everyone and announced, “A special thank you to everyone who has given me guidance, coaching, and mentoring in my life. I thank God all the time because he has been a good God. My purpose is to continue to be dedicated to working for positive change, to spread, and to share my faith and love, and lastly you all did surprise me and have warmed my heart with your love.”
