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.

All I can say is WHOA!!! This podcast has me literally blown away! Jess is your no holds barred, tell it straight, sister from another mother🙌🏽I haven’t come across an episode that I haven’t absolutely loved! This podcast has me digging deep on a level I didn’t even know exist. Listen, save, and repeat!
Jess is the epitome of women’s empowerment! She truly cares about uplifting women and actually walks her talk 🙌🏾 I love tuning in each week to hear her inspiring interviews or personal insights and lessons she shares. And if that isn’t enough to listen her super smooth voice was made for podcasting!
The Stranded Podcast has great content I highly recommend to everyone. I can tell the hard work and effort Jessica puts in to provide us with these inspiring episodes. I have learn so much self development as women and would love for everyone to listen to gain all the knowledge I did with all these empowering episodes. Great Podcast! Keeping shining Jess.
I loved this last episode!! I’m sure there are many people listening who struggled with having a relationship with God, or don’t know where to start or think they have to be perfect to come to him.. but really God wants us in all our mess! Trust! I’ve been there growing up in church it’s a struggle! but having God in my life is better then going without him I’ve tried it my way and it never works! God always give us what we want so we can truly see it wasn’t what we REALLY wanted! As I’m listening I’m like where is my Hillary! Or am I her? Lol Having a sister in Christ to go to things with or discuss is probably the most encouraging thing to have! But at times God will have us in seasons as he did David in the Bible where he encouraged himself to get through! Keep going up J! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
