Jean is a singer, speaker, survivor-advocate, and creative producer. Born and raised in Lusaka, Zambia, her passion for social justice stems from her personal experience of injustice and witnessing the same inequality across the globe. She has an undergraduate degree in psychology and a minor in media studies. Jean has volunteered with a juvenile facility in Cape Town, survivors of sexual violence in Nairobi, and creatives using art for community transformation in Barcelona. She has worked with The Salvation Army International Social Justice Commission, Freely in Hope, and Brave Global and resides in New York City.
Through her experiences, she has witnessed the gravity that broken systems have on the lives of the vulnerable. Her passion is empowering women to come together and alleviate systems that perpetuate social injustice. She loves using music and dance to inspire others to find liberation through their art. To learn more, check out her YouTube Channel, Tales of a Black Girl.
In addition to creative development and performance, Jean is an expert in content development, training, and facilitation on survivor-advocacy, anti-gender based violence initiatives, justice and equity for women and girls. See her previous work.
I’d love to explore ways that we can work together to bring hope and healing to others.
