Jamia has enjoyed a myriad of opportunities in consulting, public speaking, counseling, and facilitating teams in the area of creating and sustaining a collaborative team culture. Her work specifically focuses on developing a purpose driven, strategically focused cohesive team of thought leaders. With full awareness that the default in an unhealthy team culture is to focus on “position” over purpose and safety/security over full contribution; she works diligently to uncover the drivers, which allows the work to be focused on cause vs. effect.
Her work and experience has brought her to this truth we all default to a place of position and so often forget about purpose in our personal and professional lives. Jamia has been on a unique journey it's almost been laughable and cry worthy! However as I write this and talk about myself in third person I believe what I've done is I've resolved to a purpose to live a life that is not defined by what other people believe is best for me but what I believe will allow me to become the best version of myself, I see every trial and struggle in my life and I truly count it all joy because here it's allowed me to arrive at this place a place albeit is not as my dreams but free nonetheless .
Freedom at all cost is worth the price that needs to be paid, and I'm grateful to and for every person whether known or unknown who supported me or stood in my way because it all helped me arrive at this beautiful place.
I pray this blog encourages you and challenges you to be your best inside and out, in the light and dark!
You're worth it!
Love always
Jamia H owardXOXO(Oct 2017)
