About

A Message from the Founder:

When the work I once poured into my heart was no longer fulfilling, I knew my purpose compass needed realignment.

In 2022, I attended six funerals. I’m one of the most optimistic people you’ll ever meet, but all the loss made me begin to question everything. Amidst it all, I had to hit pause on so many things. I needed a moment to navigate my grief, address my mental health, catch my breath, and rediscover my purpose which had become buried underneath all the mourning.

As I gradually came out of my haze, digging deep into my spirituality and getting the support that I needed, I started reconnecting with my powerful circle of sisters and discovered we shared similar stories. We were all fighting battles, even those who looked like they were killing the game on social media. There was a thirst for joy and wellness on our terms, and a growing need for peace of mind and renewed purpose in our lives. We were hustling hard, but something was missing.

I’ve come to the realization that women like us, who constantly demand the best from ourselves, deserve an inspiring, uplifting and safe space to rediscover joy, find genuine fulfillment and reignite our sense of purpose.

This brand is an extension of the work my sister Christine and I began in 2014 when we launched our book, Whose Shoes Are You Wearing? 12 Steps to Uncovering the Woman You Really Want to Be to a sold out crowd. All these years later, we continue to receive testimonials from women whose lives were touched, and even transformed, by our book. Here's an interview from the launch of our book:

 

 

Our mission? Simple. To help visionary Black women heal, transform and rediscover JOY — and do it holistically, boldly, joyfully and with intention. This is the intention behind the EMERGE Live! brand.

I hope you enjoy these products we created just for you. Let us know what you think at emerge@jbkbranddesign.com. 

With love and positive vibes,
Julian
