Dr. Dan welcomes Jayne Allen (pen name for Jaunique Sealey) to discuss her new book BLACK GIRLS MUST DIE EXHAUSTED, resilience, exhaustion, loving fearlessly, infertility, Lady Gaga, Prince, and much, much more.

Jayne writes fiction from life experiences. Her series “Black Girls Must Die Exhausted” touches upon contemporary women’s issues such as workplace, womanhood, race, fertility, modern relationships, and mental health awareness. Her writing echoes her desire to bring both multiculturalism and multidimensionality to contemporary women’s fiction with dynamic female protagonists who also happen to be black.

As Jaunique Sealey she has a broad range of experience in business and brand architecture, digital strategy, marketing, and product innovation. A graduate of Duke University Pratt School of Engineering and Harvard Law School, Jaunique’s professional career began as a music attorney and entertainment industry executive, followed by a period as a senior digital strategist and business development executive for Lady Gaga, assisting with the platinum album release, “Born This Way,” and executive producing the “Gaga’s Workshop” digital experience for Barneys New York that won an array of marketing awards, including an OMMA Award, Gold and Silver W3 Awards and a Davey Award. Sealey then began her own consulting agency and was hired by the late artist Prince as an addition to his in-house business and legal team. Recently the new book publisher Zibby Books announced Jaunique Sealey is Vice President of strategy and community.

Her fiction has been featured in Essence Magazine, Good Morning America, The Root, Bustle, Ms. Magazine, and Shondaland. Jaunique is also the author of non-fiction titles including Regroup: The How-To of Never Giving Up, and Piece of the Fame: Rockstar Social Media Marketing Strategy for Everyone to Ignite Your Business, Career, and Personal Brand.
