About (request update)

Jerré Jakée

I am a self-published bestselling author, book writing coach and strategist, self-publishing advisor, social media correspondent, visionary, and a motivational speaker for young adult women. So many hats, yet I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world. The quote, “do what you love, you'll never work again,” describes me to the very letter.

My affinity for writing has strengthened during my journey to overcome low self-esteem and depression. The passion for it pumps through my veins and ignites my purpose. I have been fascinated with the art of storytelling ever since I was a little girl, wearing pigtails. During college, I discovered how oddly joyous it was to develop striking plot strategies. The surge of excitement to consult aspiring authors, sparked after self-publishing my own bestseller. My pathway to healing, as well as a host of other victories, has inspired me to encourage and connect with those who are currently enduring similar struggles, and those who share the same earnest desire to publish bestselling books!

I am the living example of transformation and I’m currently resting in the palms of my Potter’s hand. At 29, I self-published Beautiful Liar, a faith-based fiction novel, and debut novel to the Sisterly Relations Novel series. In these books, I effortlessly paint a realistic picture of the sorority/sisterhood experience after college.

I worshiped at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Twin Oaks, PA, and I am also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. I was in the process of obtaining a certification in Biblical Counseling at Mt. Pleasant but I stepped out on faith, quit my job, and moved to GA with just pennies in my pocket. Now I'm a minister in training through Gateway Worship Center. I have also formed a weekly prayer call ministry, and have developed my own women's email ministry, in which I send weekly “Inspirational Thoughts” to an ever-growing number of recipients. I'm also in prayer about serval other upcoming projects, so stay tuned!

My mission is to encourage my sisters to draw nearer to Christ, in every area of their lives, through total acceptance of their own imperfections, prayer, and surrendering. It is also my mission to use beautifully written words, to inspire people to develop the courage to pursue their dreams, and live fearlessly.
