I’VE SPOKEN, MODERATED & FACILITATED FOR:
KEYNOTE SPEAKING
CONVERSATIONS THAT INSPIRE AND CREATE ACTION.
Each keynote is packed with real stories, practical ideas and a fresh perspective that helps your audience think differently, see new possibilities and take action
BUSINESS RULE BREAKER
The rules that got you here might not be the rules that get you where you want to go.
A bold, practical keynote about questioning the expectations, habits and “supposed to’s” that quietly shape how we work, lead and make decisions.
Through real stories, humour and hard-earned lessons, Jacquelyn challenges audiences to stop following rules simply because that’s how things have always been done — and start making choices that create more opportunity, freedom and success on their own terms.
THE EXPERIENCE ECONOMY
People don’t just buy what you sell. They buy how you make them feel.
Customers are looking for more than products and services — they want experiences worth remembering, sharing and coming back for.
Drawing on her years as an award-winning chocolatier and business owner, Jacquelyn shows audiences how ordinary products, skills, spaces and knowledge can become valuable customer experiences that deepen loyalty, differentiate a business and create new revenue.
WHEN LIFE FORCES A PIVOT
Sometimes you choose the next chapter. Sometimes life chooses it for you.
What happens when the plan changes, the path disappears or the version of yourself you built your life around no longer fits?
Through honest storytelling, humour and perspective earned through her own unexpected pivots, Jacquelyn explores what it takes to adapt, rebuild and move forward without having all the answers.
A keynote about resilience, reinvention and finding possibility in the moments we never planned for.
I CAN TAILOR EACH KEYNOTE FOR YOUR AUDIENCE.
Every event is different. I work with you to shape
the right message, stories and examples for your audience, industry and goals.

WHAT EVENT ORGANIZERS SAY
Thriving In Colour
“Having Jackie speak at our retreat created a lasting impact. Her authentic and honest storytelling resonated deeply with so many women, inspiring them to choose themselves and embrace meaningful change. Jackie perfectly captured the essence of our retreat theme, and bridged the gap between practical tools and real-life application. Her session was inspiring, empowering, and left attendees ready to take action.”

BLK Women in Excellence (BWIE) Society
Thank you for sharing your voices, your entrepreneurial journeys, your experiences, your lessons, and most importantly, for being REAL with the women in that room.
But my gratitude goes beyond sitting on the panel. What happened Friday night reminded me exactly why creating these spaces matters. The conversations, the questions, the laughter, the vulnerability, the networking, and seeing Black women genuinely connecting with one another - it filled my heart.
