  • Ep 36: "Unveiling the Hidden Texture Tax: The Real Cost of Beauty Products for Black Women" Let's Make It Rain Podcast w/ Davinia

    I'm thrilled to share my story with you in this special episode. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Davinia on the "Let's Make It Rain" podcast, and I'm excited to bring that conversation to my own podcast.

    During our chat, I shared my experiences of starting the new year on Necker Island with Richard Branson and other incredible entrepreneurs, which was truly inspiring. We also delved into the pressing issue of the "texture tax" that black women often face when it comes to haircare products, and how Treasure Tress is working to address this disparity.

    I opened up about how my niece inspired me to create Treasure Tress, and my deep commitment to investing in the next generation of young women. We also discussed my perspective on building wealth and creating options for ourselves and our communities.

    I can't wait for you to join me on this journey as we dive into my story, my vision for Treasure Tress, and my unwavering dedication to empowering black women. This episode of She's Obsessed The Podcast is not to be missed!

  • Ep 35: "You need to know the game that you're playing... position yourself to get the bag!" w/ Mandy Nyarko

    An episode filled with so many "aha" moments! This was an episode I'd been looking forward to recording for a long time and it did not disappoint!

    I was joined by Mandy Nyarko MBE - VP at Ada Ventures and Co-Founer of the Start Up Discovery School. 

    Mandy and I discussed:

    • the fact that pursuing your purpose is a privilege
    • you should be pursuing purpose and profit!
    • your purpose changes as you change
    • balance is a thing, but there are cycles
    • female entrepreneurs have to wear many hats, and inherit roles which impact their journey
    • cultural attitudes towards money

      • Follow Mandy @mandy_nyarko to keep up with her journey.

    • Ep 34: Creative Entrepreneurship: "I can do ANY thing but I can't do EVERY thing.. at once" w/ Jevetta Boyce

      Building a brand teaches you many lessons and requires a variety of skills. Multitasking and exercising your creative muscles appear at the top of that list of skills!


      Doing everything in your business is a blessing a curse. 

      The blessing - you know how everything functions and can train others.

      The curse - you're strapped from time and capacity.


      Creativity is a necessary ingredient for the formulation of any brand yet how does one protect their ideas? Pitching to clients is essential for B2B businesses but how do you avoid your ideas being stolen?


      We switched positions for a second episode, and in this episode Jevetta Boyce asked me (Jamelia Donaldson) a few burning questions she had on the start up journey of TreasureTress.


      We hope you enjoy!

    • Ep 29:"Ask for what you want in business - don't be afraid to negotiate as Black Women!" Live mentorship call with Tia Shamiso founder Chantelle
      Episode sponsored by @motorolauk A few months ago I announced my partnership with Motorola to gift someone with a brand new g100 and offer free mentorship for a month. While I shared my own experiences, I equally learnt a ton from Chantelle and her fresh approach to business. We spoke marketing campaigns, how to increase traction and spent a great deal of time talking through the importance of careful management of costs before they overtake revenue!
      Give this episode a listen, and let us both know your thoughts! @jameliaisobsessed @tiashamiso

    • Episode 28: "Guidance and Leadership > Management. Managing people is difficult' w/ Darren Tenkorang CEO/founder of Trimit

      On this episode of She's Obsessed The Podcast, I caught up with Darren Tenkorang CEO/Founder of Trimit to explore his founding story, his growth to date, lessons he has learned throughout the years and the words of advice he has received from his investors.


      My favourite takeaways were:

      • As a founder it is important to create the infrastructure and allow people to do what they're good at.
      • A leader has to be in servitude of their team and their company.
      • The ultimate goal is to inspire people to work harder as a leader.
      • Things do not get easier but you do build muscle memory!

        • If you haven't already seen Trimit on Channel 4's Money Maker, you can learn more about Darren @drntnk and trims @trimit 


        Let me know your thoughts and be sure to share with your friends and family
