How the Fire Started vs How It's Burning: Jaylana's Edition

This isn't your usual "here's all my education and work experience, blah, blah, blah" page because we don't do typical corporate BS around here. 

(If you really want to read all of that, hop over to my LinkedIn page! I'm not going to stop you!)

However, I would rather tell you how and why it all started because, frankly, that's far more interesting ...

Four years ago, the match was lit.

I remember exactly where I was — standing in my rented apartment in London, just after my housemate had sidelined me for the third time that week.

I walked into my room, still fuming from the tension, after she’d told me to “relax” — simply because I had the nerve to respond to her sour attitude.

And I said to myself:
I’m done.

Not angry. Not upset.
Done.

🔥 Done playing small.
🔥 Done silencing my fire.
🔥 Done shrinking myself to keep the peace with anyone else.

So I pulled out my phone and wrote a powerful diary entry — a declaration, a promise, a shift.

I called it the Queen Manifesto.

👑 I do not shrink myself to make other people feel more comfortable.
👑 I honor my boundaries — no apologies.
👑 I have every right to 'leave the party' when being there no longer brings me joy.

That night, I wrote 20 vows to myself. These were just three.

And from that moment forward, the fire inside me stayed lit and has never gone out.

Since then, I’ve rewritten more than my story —

I’ve rebuilt my identity.

⚡I ditched half-assed “friendships.”

⚡I walked away from a job that underpaid and underestimated me.

⚡And I haven’t settled for less ever since.

The day I quit, my phoenix era began.

But full disclosure: this didn’t all snap into place overnight.

Far from it.

It took years of revisions, revamps, and full-on rebirths.

And now, after all of it, here I am.

Being multipassionate is both a blessing and a beautiful chaos.

For the longest time, I didn’t know what direction to take my business because, honestly? I wanted to help everyone.

But we both know how that goes — when you try to help everyone, you end up helping no one.

🔥🔥🔥

I knew I was meant to empower women. I just hadn’t fully realized how.

Until one day, it hit me like lightning ...

I’d been reflecting on the raw power of audacity — how a woman reclaims the voice she was told to bury.

How she asks for what she wants without apology.

How she dares to speak her truth, even when the world feels ready to rise against her.

And how many years it took me to find that audacity.

I’m here to help women reignite their inner fire.

Speak their truth with unshakable power.

Wield their voice like a sword of light.

If you, dear Queen, have ever been...

⚡Silenced when you should’ve been heard loud and clear

⚡Sidelined when you should’ve been center stage

⚡Playing small when you should’ve been dropping mics

It’s time to light the fire that’s been waiting inside you all along.

Is it easy? Hell no. It’s scary AF at first.

But let’s be real — most things worth doing are.

Is it worth it? Absolutely.

Because once you unlock that power, there’s no going back.

You don’t just find your voice — you change your life.

For the Queens ready to emerge, leap, and rise…
I’m here.

Meet you in the flames,
