“If there is one word to describe Ja-Nae, it’s passion. Ja-Nae is driven by the passion she has for the work she does. And there is no one that knows her way around the social sphere better than Ja-Nae. Bring those two elements together and you get a smart, strategic, committed, dedicated, and driven individual who honestly loves what she does.”

“Ja-Nae spoke at a conference I attended and she stood out above the other speakers with her "no excuses" approach. She was not only engaging, but provided succinct and actionable advice that was so easy to follow...great take aways for every business owner, whether they're just getting started or have owned a business for years. My favorite tip: "Break all the rules!" I love that...thanks, Ja-Nae! From one rule-breaker to another...thanks for all of your great advice!”

Director of Sales at Boston SEO

Small Business Summit

“Speakers at conferences usually focus in delivering the information that they forget to engage with their audience. Great speakers should be able to help the audience to "understand" and "remember" what they had learned.

Ja-Naé is one of very few gifted speakers I have met who was able to articulate the discussion succinctly yet in a memorable way. She truly understands the concept of bridging the gap between the social media and business growth which is the fundamental concept many speakers fail to address.

I highly recommend Ja-Naé for her dedication and professionalism towards her work and people she work with.”
