The value that Jakiya has added to my brand is absolutely invaluable. She is a naturally gifted storyteller, marketer and one of the realest people I've ever met. Since working with Jakiya, she's consulted for my brand and expanded my vision and taught me how to strategically about my business. From understanding how to market my work on and off the gram' to amplifying my connection with my community by sticking to my brand story, her advice always opens me to greater possibilities.
Jakiya above all, is a kindred spirit who really wants to see black women WIN. She spends so much time creating content that makes an impact, that helps black women reconnect to their roots—using herself as an example of what it means to have the courage to follow your dreams.
If you've had the pleasure of working with Jakiya or been impacted by her work in some way, you know that every word I say is true. And if you haven't, you would do yourself and your business or brand a huge favor by doing so. From online course, to the free smoke and hilariousness she embeds in her emails, she's truly one-of-a-kind in a very cookie cutter world of Instagram. Her authenticity is infectious and her tenacity is incredibly motivating.
She will push you beyond your comfort zone but it will be worth every minute. If you're ready to grow into your potential and really launch yourself into the life you really want, there's honestly no one doper or better to help you do it than her. She a real one ya'll, don't get caught slippin' and have her go off the radar without having tapped into her brilliance.
Wins: clarify branding, took brand fulltime, launched retreats & product line, and following every dream.

At this point in my journey I recognized that there was more to life than what we as humans allow ourselves the space to appreciate. I quit my job, cut my hair and planned to move to Spain. All of this and I still didn't know how to turn my passions into a career to fully live the life I was gifted with. I needed direction. I needed a person of color, a woman doing the damn thing in the position to develop and grow others. So I joined Jakiya's Course. TBH I don't remember how much it cost because not once did I feel I didn't get my money's worth. I was charged to think through my passions, inspired to acknowledge how to turn that into a career with guided steps and examples of that happening to people we often see on our explore page. Her course gave me the tools to identify what she calls as an avatar, the target market and how to conceptualize the parallels between what we offer and how that can service masses. The option to take advantage of 1on1 consultations left me with manageable commitments on a calendar, the support of gold and a handful of resources, each time. I am thankful. The Blue Bike is what it is today due to The Traveling Fro and the curator Jakiya Brown.

I’m so grateful to have met Jakiya earlier this year and I know it’s the universe working it’s magic because people come into your life for a purpose. I’ve joined her collective tribe and have taken part in her course. The advice and content she provides her clients is invaluable! Her strong background in marketing and brand development is really useful because that elements are needed in any industry. If you are seeking to know your audience and leave a lasting impression, Jakiya will help with that. In the time that I’ve worked with her, I can see my mindset start to shift and focus more on how I want to start solidifying my image and portray who I am and what I want my audience to know me for.

Jakiya's branding knowledge is priceless. After consulting with her it was the push I needed to start. I have talked myself out of launching my brand numerous times, but through her encouragment and branding tools, I was able to flourish.

Learning how Jakiya was able to take her blog and social media and turn into a business was helpful for me. For anyone who is looking to create a brand beyond social media with their particular talents, this course is very relevant, personal and inspiring. I appreciating the sharing of “receipts” proof of pitches, contracts and wins.
Wins: direction, framework on what’s next, "understanding my why"

After speaking with Jakiya, I walked away with clarity and a better idea of what rates to confidently charge for my work. She understands how to leverage your story and skills to help you make it almost impossible for a brand to walk away.

I went back and forth deciding whether I should make this investment in myself. I think part of me was nervous to fully commit myself and the fear of failing if I do decide to “go all in.” I have previously invested in another course that unfortunately wasn’t worth my time, as the course was really set up for basic Instagram users, so I was fearful about the same thing occurring. I can honestly say that my investment in Jakiya’s course has been worth every penny, thus far. The videos and worksheets not only teach you how to successfully build a brand, but they make you take a step back and reevaluate your core brand values and the ultimate goals are for you and this brand. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get serious about building a brand and who is willing to invest the time and work into building your brand the right way.
Wins: content consistency, community growth, enhanced treavel story telling on @thevirtualpassport
