Jewelry Made Fabulous was born out of her love of accessories. At the age of 11 after taking a summer business class at the Los Angeles Urban League, where she was challenged to develop a business, taught how to create a business and marketing plan and then present her ideas to three business owners as a competition to advance to the NFTE Finals in Los Angeles. She placed second in her age category, but was so impressive with her speech that she was asked to MC the high school finals at the Getty Center. Jordyn was so inspired that she decided to continue with her business and take it to the next level. Because of her determination, dedication, and commitment she will be honored in New York at The NFTE 25th Anniversary Awards Dinner.
This is such a WOW moment! As parents we really need to pay attention to our children's dreams. Sometimes they are ready to walk in them before we expect it! I never imagined having a little entrepreneur, but I am so thankful that I do! Our children learn so much from us. Jordyn wrote in her essay, "My mom always tells me you reap what you sow, so I always speak life and wealth into my business. Running a business at my age is sometimes a struggle, and sometimes I will get frustrated, but running a business is not easy, you have to put a lot of hard work and dedication into that business." Boy, did she make me proud!
In a couple of months jordyn and I along with a host of our family and friends will be takings flight to New York to see her accept her NFTE Entrepreneurship Award! God is so good! I will keep you all posted on our travels.
Eventfully your's,
Jennifer Jackson
