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.

First I want to start by saying thank you Jessica for speaking in a way that is so relatable, you put words to thoughts and feelings like no one I’ve ever heard speak. It truly is your gift! There are soooo many gems in every single one of your podcasts (yes I’m almost positive I’ve listened to them alllll). You don’t hold back and that’s what I absolutely loveeee about the podcasts. I think everyone needs a YOU in their life, super thankful for everything your share on this platform.
I found her through the GirlCEO podcast w/ Ronne Brown and immediately subscribed. Her format, topics, and episode length make it perfect for the boost you need through out the day. I connect with her because she speaks to the producers of the world full of artists. Every piece of art needs a producer, curator, or facilitator to get a message out. There are stories we carry that just need an outlet. She does that in her business and through her podcast. So glad I found this because it gives me the motivation to go after the life I want to live. A life of purpose and meaning.
One of the highlights of my week is to hear from Jessica’s transparent insights into personal development! She keeps it fun and drops so many gems in terms of shifting your mindset and unlocking your greatest potential!! I’ve learned so much and I’m so grateful for The Stranded Podcast! ❤️
