Wanda Edwards

Survivor

Motivational Speaker

Certified Domestic Violence Advocate

I. Am. Still. Here; four simple words that carry the weight of a journey still unfolding.

She was referred to as “the repairer of the breach” by her former Pastor, Walter L Parrish. Wanda began the first Volunteer Ministry for Women in crisis transition at her church in 2005, shortly after, she became a licensed minister.

Wanda is a survivor of Domestic Violence and has also overcome years of struggling with drug addiction.

She has said that “becoming an advocate against Domestic Violence was not an actual decision. It was something that evolved as a result of me trying to find my way back to me. Wanda realized there was power and healing in sharing her story with others.

She continues to facilitate powerful and relevant seminars and workshops for women and young girls. In 2017, she was the recipient of the Phoenix Award for her “strength, courage and resiliency”, presented by Harambe Services Inc.  In May of 2018, Wanda was honored at the annual S.O.F.I.A Walking in Purpose Gala for her “outstanding work and dedication”. Wanda was also honored by the first annual Power of Women Summit where she received the “Community Advocator of the Year” Award and Gamma Phi Delta Sorority in 2018.

Wanda is the producer of the film “Colors of Survival” which premiered in October 2016, the film reflects on the very harsh realities of domestic violence but is focused on the HOPE of surviving.

In 2018, Wanda wrote and produced “Not Just October” a stage play that focuses on the need for continued discussion around the harsh and sometimes fatal effects of Domestic Violence.

She volunteers with S.O.F.I.A., a New Jersey non-profit Domestic Violence Awareness organization, and is a member of Arizona and New  Jersey National Coalitions against Domestic Violence.

Her greatest joy is her children and grandchildren whom she lovingly refers to as her “3Squared”.

Jarriel Jordan, Sr. is the founder and executive director of Jacob’s Ladder Youth Foundation, Inc.. Mr. Jordan has worked in our community for over thirty years as a coach, teacher and police officer. Mr. Jordan has a sincere desire to reduce the number of juveniles entering and returning to the juvenile justice system.

We provide weekly reentry/recidivism sessions at the Cheltenham Youth Detention Center and Maryland’s Department of Juvenile Services - Evening Reporting Center.

Jesse empowers you to grow in 'character and mind by mastering the power inside.' By Jesse Lewis III

Website - www.just1jlew.com / SM - @just1jlew (IG, FB, Twitter)

Minister Jesse Lewis III, also known as JLew, Motivational, Speaker, Educator, Author, devoted Husband, and loving Father. He enjoys writing rhymes and spending family time with his beautiful wife, Evenly, and their two sons Jesse IV and Josiah. JLew's mission is to inspire others to be their best selves by plugging into the power inside, the power of 1.

Jesse was born and raised in New Jersey. He is an alumnus of the Abraham Clark High School in Roselle, NJ, where he was awarded the 2001 Scholar-Athlete and Student of The Year upon graduation.

JLew continued his education at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. While at Bryant,  JLew found a love for serving others and social awareness. He joined various organizations, most notably working in the Intercultural Center and serving on the executive boards of the Alliance for Women's Awareness and Multi-Cultural Student Union. In addition to social service, JLew was unanimously voted captain of the Bulldogs football team and chosen as the team's Bulldog Award winner in 2004 and 2005. Upon graduating in 2005, he was awarded the Citizenship Commencement Award for displaying the character of service in excellence.

After college JLew worked briefly as homeownership and financial educator at Brand New Day, Inc. in Elizabeth, NJ, before venturing into the field of education. From 2010 until 2019, he taught middle school mathematics in East Orange and New Brunswick, NJ. During the same time, Jesse was licensed as a minister of the Abundant Life Family Worship Church in New Brunswick. Currently, Jesse works as a Professional Development Specialist for Curriculum Associates, where he provides high-quality training for teachers.

In 2017 JLew started his inspirational speaking business, Just1JLew.com, and in 2019 published his first book entitled Plant. Point. Accelerate! A Cornerback's Guide to Playing the Field of Life.

Host, Rhonda Jennifer enjoyed Jesse's book, PLANT. POINT. ACCELERATE! A CORNERBACK'S GUIDE TO PLAYING THE FIELD OF LIFE.

The time spent was very impactful with tangible information to implement the necessary growth and character-building changes needed. The conversation began around Jesse's book and then went even further to Jesse sharing his wisdom with The Value Journey audience.

The book is not only for sports fans. Rhonda is a moderate sports fan who enjoyed and gained a wealth of wisdom from Jesse's book. You provide definitions on the various position and aspects of football to help the non-sport fan to understand better how to succeed in life.

Rhonda is very thankful for the work provided. Jesse provides the audience with a scouting report for life. Go to www.rjnomorecrumbs - under the PODCAST tab for more show notes.
