In April 2018, I had the opportunity to do a TEDx speech. When I asked my peers what I should discuss, they all responded with the same message, "talk about your passion for mentoring."
The true power of mentoring is so important to me because a powerful mentor relationship at the age of 16 changed the entire trajectory of my life. I promise you, I wouldn't be here. That relationship and transformation led me to do it for other people. I even worked for non-profits for over 10 years that solely served at risk people of color around mentoring and programs to prevent them from the prison pipeline.
If you are looking for others way to directly impact lives right now, mentoring at a local organization may be an option. I am not saying this is the solution, it may just be one for many who aren't able to protest or are looking for a more direct impact.
And if you've ever thought about mentoring but feel like the invest of time wont equal a true transformation, I am here to tell you how far off you are. However, I encourage you to listen to this TEDx speech to truly understand how POWERFUL of mentoring a few people actually is.

I’m new to listening to podcasts, I actually got to meet Jessica this year, I started following her on IG and loved her content there- everything is insightful and motivational. I came to listen to her podcast and love it! It’s like therapy for me! Give her a listen, I’m sure you’ll love it too!
Personally, I enjoy gaining wisdom from various perspectives. I have listened to a handful of Jessica’s podcast and I can genuinely say I learn something new to apply to my day to day life. It’s her honest and genuine approach that keeps you waiting to hear more of what she has to say. Her podcasts are super engaging and you feel like “I can def do that”. I would strongly recommend checking her podcast out. You won’t regret it at all!
Whew! I can’t say enough about how blessed I am to have found this podcast and this WOMAN last year. It was LITERALLY the catapult into success, self empowerment, self awareness, and self belief that I needed. She covers the real stuff, the relevant stuff, she digs deep, she makes you dig deep and she spares NOTHING. She lays it all on the table and really wakes you up and forces you to look deep within and learn how to live your life unapologetically! Listening to, meeting, and now working with her has lit a fire in me I never knew I had and has introduced me to a world of like minded women, professionals, and empowerment! This community has become my lifeline and it is ALL thanks to this Angel of a woman. If you don’t know, now you know! ❤️
The best podcast Ever ! Very inspiring!! Thank you Jessica
