We had the good fortune of connecting with Jadejha Edwards and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jadejha, what matters most to you?
principles that matters to me would be authenticity and just being true to myself because that’s what I value the most as a person, I want my brand to reflect that and the same type of people to be surrounded by me. I feel that my work is better when I show up being true to myself.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I think all my businesses offer a unique and authentic experience. The goal is never sales, but change. Changing others lives, days, mindset etc etc. As far as how did I get here, well I didn’t stop. Thats the thing I just keep going. Whether im crawling, walking or running.. I keep going. Sometimes I reflect back on my past and how the odds were truly against me my entire childhood. But, that never stopped me if anything it just added fuel to the flame and that was enough motivation for me. Honestly everything I do has its challenges and sometimes it impacts more than just me, but the end result has always been worth it. I have learned though that sometimes things are challenging because something even better is coming. It’s okay to not rush every process. The biggest lesson I have learned though is to care for myself and give myself grace throughout every process. I would want the world to know that regardless of the things Ive been through I still made it and I give everything I do my all. Even when I don’t want to, I still show up as 100% because what I do is important to me and is a huge testament to not letting the way you start affect the way you end.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting me in Houston Texas, I would definitely take them to Cidercade, Grace’s, Puttery, The Museum of Science, and Memorial Park! These are just a few of my favorite things to do in Houston. I really don’t like going out to clubs and bars that much, I prefer a more relaxed environment.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
An organization I would like to give credit to is Starting Right Now Inc. it is a program I was in that changed my life. I would also like to give credit to my grandmother, she means the world to me and did everything she could to help me growing up.
