Community Building

‍

@RemodeledLove

‍
​Jessica and Joe Daylover are poly parents, authors, and entrepreneurs. Their journey into polyamory was rocky because they had no mentors, no cultural script, and no support. They launched "Remodeled" as a way to change that path for others. They have been together since 2009, married since 2013, and officially polyamorous since just before their wedding. Joe is an English lecturer at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Jessica is a live event and digital media producer and entertainer. They are also developing a community-building app called nuclear fusion to help individuals and families find, build, and sustain their village.
