Jeneé Naylor is an influencer, founder, and CEO who has been sharing her impeccable fashion taste with social media audiences for years. With over a million followers across Instagram and Tiktok, she has proven that she can translate her endless looks and inspiring personality across any medium and to any audience. Jeneé built her digital presence after being pushed out of a successful and stable six-figure C-suite career at Target. Always watchful, she had noticed the writing on the wall and was taking on brand deals to secure her future and build her reputation. Jeneé’s acumen paid off, and she is one of the most influential creators in the fashion industry. 

Currently, she is the host of her own style show, Style Unlocked, co-founder of 12 PM, a lifestyle brand, and the stylish girlfriend of millions of fans. During our conversation, Jeneé takes us back to the beginning of her journey in St. Louis and her forays in the creative industry, from opening for Destiny’s Child to styling to becoming a make-up artist. Jeneé offers us a peek into her corporate life, how it ended, and the ways she took control of her future using her keen eye for fashion. With humor and transparency, we learn all about how the woman who once aspired to be Aaliyah’s backup dancer helped usher millions into the new digital age of fashion influencing.
