 Hey Gems welcome back to my channel. So I've noticed that I've gained quite a few subscribers And if you've been subscribed to my channel since day one since I started this I think back in 2017 You know that kind of been all over the place in terms of the type of content that I post Well, I figured why not post this video to give my new subscribers some insight about myself and to I guess make some clarification to my day one subscribers about what to expect going forward. So Allow me to reintroduce myself Allow me to reintroduce myself my name. My name is Jaheela I'm gonna put it up somewhere on the screen so that you all can see how it's felt because People mispronounce my name all the time and call me all kind of weird stuff, but it's Jaheela Very simple Jaheela I don't even know how people messes that up. Most of my friends call me Jah And a lot of people call me Empress hence the name Jah Empress on my YouTube channel and most of my social media handles I am a mama of three beautiful Spirits three beautiful little boys who chose me as their portal to enter this physical Existence and I am truly grateful for each and every one of them because every last one of my pregnancies and Burt has strict people and things away from me that no longer serve me and has Driven me closer to walking in my divine purpose and each one of my boys Have taught me something about myself and is continuing to teach me things about myself So I am very grateful for them and there's no way I could be to me I am today without them some of you may or may not know that I recently Left an 11 year long relationship with the father of my children due to many reasons, but the main reason being Physical and sexual abuse as much as I share about my life on social media There's a whole lot more that I don't share in fact I probably share less than a fraction of my life on these platforms So I guess I'm kind of like the most transparent private person you will meet Because I am transparent when I do share about whatever it is I'm sharing but there's a lot that I don't share because I stand by the fact that not everything is for Social media, so there's a lot of things that I just prefer to keep private and what I do choose to share I share because I want to encourage inspire and support others So there's good intentions behind everything that I do choose to share so more about me I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Sincroy. However, I've lived in Israel for five years I've lived in Florida. I've even lived in Texas for a very short time and Yeah, I've lived in Florida for four years not counting the years I went to college So if you count that it'll probably be like seven years. I don't know. I don't think the years I went to college count. Anyways, I digress. I lived in Florida for four years not not counting the years I went to college. I lived in Texas for like six months I don't know if to count that and I lived in Israel for five years much when I was much younger I think from the age of eight to twelve or so and I've lived in Ghana. That's the last place. I've recently lived I lived in Ghana for nine months and Now I'm back home on Sincroy with my family and I'm so grateful. So I turned 30 this year it's been the best solar return thus far and Unlike a lot of other women who like dread turning 30 or don't like to say their age I am proud to say I'm 30. I was like I was looking forward to turning 30 and So far this chapter so far has been so great to me So I'm just looking forward to what I'm looking forward to what my 30s gonna bring me because all I'm seen is abundance so far I am a Gemini. I'm a Gemini Sun Moon and Mercury Okay, and if you're into astrology, and if you know your natal chart, you know exactly what that means Because I'm a Gemini Sun Moon and Mercury it kind of like for me. I'm kind of like a sign Okay, I know German eyes get a batter app, you know, like not a lot of people like Gemini's But I recently had a reading with an astrologist Big up to Diedra because she's like bomb. She was like you're kind of like a sign in Like you're your own sign because of how because of the day and time I was born I can't get into all of that. All I know is that I am not your typical Gemini Okay, and no offense to any other German eyes out there because I love them personally, but I'm a little different and I'm happy to say that Because I'm a Gemini Sun Moon and Mercury communication is very important to me like if you can not communicate Effectively you can end up on my shit list very quickly. Eventually. I'm just gonna limit my interactions with you and No offense to you you haven't learned how to communicate good yet fine But I personally I'm always working on my communication and it's very important to me to communicate effectively So if you can do that and you're not trying to do better I'm gonna eventually limit my interactions with you for my own mental sanity Anyways back to more details So I enjoy my own company. I am Definitely an introvert at its finest I'm an island girl to the core in the sense that I refuse to live anywhere ever again That does not have easy access to the beach. Okay, the beach is my happy place It's where I go to feel at ease is where I go to just if I'm Feeling overwhelmed or stressed I go to the beach to just Usa take some deep breaths enjoy some vitamin D and some vitamin C and just Recover, okay, so I refuse to ever live anywhere again that do not have easy access to the beach one and have a Good quality beaches because not every beach is created equal and I can say that because I've lived in Florida So a lot of people don't notice but I do have a master's degree in accounting But I don't use it because when I was working in my field, I was completely miserable that's another thing that I learned about myself through my first pregnancy and I don't regret going to college because I do think that was part of my journey and that has helped mold and shape me into Who I am today, but I don't see myself ever working in the accounting field Permanently ever ever again. What else can I say favorite color? Y'all want to know my favorite color? I don't exactly have a favorite color, but I do love earth tone colors, and then I love Feminine colors like blush pink and I love gold like I'm like I love gold As you can see like I'm always wearing gold real or not. I'm wearing gold. I do not own I Don't think I own any silver jewelry. No, I lie. I do own one silver jewelry, which is a ring and It's a ring that my best friend bought me for my birthday like years ago, and it's the only Silver ring I ever wear so Yeah, I love gold. I love crystals as you can see I am always wearing crystals. These are crystals my Sister made these jerry. This is this is a moon stone This is colorful tourmaline, and this is Labradorite and Amazonite I have lapis lazuli. I have citrine. I have crystals all in my hair y'all like I love crystals and this is a Maldivite stone genuine grade a Maldivite stone. Okay, and I Have crystals on my waist speeds. I am always adorning crystals because I just I have many reasons why I wear crystals but one of them is just for my own sanity and protection because I pick up on people energy very easily and I kind of take on that a lot so crystals is one of the things that kind of protects my energy protects my aura and I can be very sympathetic and empathetic with people especially in birth work So This is what kind of like keeps me grounded and keeps my energy and aura protected at all times Okay, do I have any more fun facts to share? What I like to do on my spare time. I love to do yoga on my spare time journal I Now I'm just like reading a lot to I guess nourish my craft as an herbalist as an healer I love to just play music like candles burn my incense and sage and just vibe Sometimes I am very chilled and laid back when it comes to What I do when I'm by myself in terms of like hanging out Club scene like I did that I lived that in college But that lifestyle just don't serve me anymore and I have no Desire to go to the club in heels and stand up in a dark cloud crowded sweaty smoky building Like I just is I don't want to do it anymore So I'm just at a season in my life where I pretty much in a nutshell I'm at a time in my life where I am Learning to love myself in the most purest most meaningful way possible So as we know like everybody's talking about soft girl season I think people misinterpret what it means to live in a And that's all Soft girl season is just continuous self-love and self-care in every aspect and self Which if we want to get technical having a glass of wine is not self-care It's actually a coping mechanism But we're not going to get into that right now self-care is taking care of your body eating healthy Exercising drinking your water getting sunshine Self-care is getting that massage regularly whether it's weekly or bi-weekly to release all the stress and tensions that your body holds Self-care is meditating journaling tapping into your highest self self-care is leaving that man who verbally Physically and emotionally abuses you self-care is knowing that you are worthy of everything that you desire self-care is Looking in the mirror and seeing god Looking in the mirror and seeing a goddess self-care is knowing That your vitality is everything at least for me With all of that being said I just want everybody to know that I am sharing my healing journey Because I want women to know that despite everything that you've been through or going through You can take back your power and manifest the life of your dreams if y'all listen to my intro That's exactly what it says and that is exactly why I chose that song like as you all Start to learn more and more about my story a lot of you might be like wow What she went through is insane. Just wait till I share my story about how I had to leave gana Anyways My point is I want everyone to to I want to inspire others But I also want to share my story because I want y'all to see me elevate And know that you all can do the same trust me. I cry I have my moments of feeling overwhelmed and discouraged But one thing I always do Is rise back up and get shit done every time One thing I've done in the past consistently is allow people outside of myself to crush my confidence and keep me reserved And I did that for way too long like quite frankly, I'd be selling myself short But that stops now. I am tapping all the way into my goddess energy and y'all might get sick of me But I don't care because I am literally done selling myself short Which brings me to another big part of my life my passion My purpose My business gem solistic. So I started gem solistic in 2019 gem actually has A double meaning one of the meaning be One of the meaning being gem as in a gemstone but spelt with a j because we are sacred and precious as gemstones so That's pretty much the meaning behind But one of the meanings behind that word in my business gem The second meaning is actually an acronym for my name Ja empress. I just took the j from ja and em from empress And it smells gem and I did that because my business is literally a reflection of me as I mentioned earlier I take my health very Very seriously and wound wellness is extremely important to me. Which is why gem solistic is more than just a skin Care product line. It's a lifestyle gem solistic lifestyle and wound wellness is about encouraging everyone to live a healthy natural and holistic lifestyle it covers mind Body and spirit because when healing from a holistic standpoint, you have to look at the whole Not just the physical so on the gem solistic. I have natural handmade non-toxic Skin care and hair care products that you can actually trust. I have a hundred percent organic Herbal tea blends to help you heal. I sell candles palo santo sage And will soon be adding some incense and some other holistic tools Which can all be used to enhance your spiritual growth. I also offer my holistic services as a certified doula a certified wound wellness specialist a certified yoga instructor And herbalist. I'm also currently working on another project that I will be hopefully launching in September either September or October That will pretty much be a guide to help people transition into living that healthy natural holistic lifestyle because A lot of complaints that I get is that some people just say I don't know where to start So I am working on something to help you Get started and I am so excited about it. I can't wait I can't wait to launch it But anyways truth is I haven't been promoting my business the way I should Okay, I have not and you all some of you probably don't even know that I have a business because I barely Bring it up on youtube. Like I don't push my business the way I should but That stops now too. One thing I know for sure And y'all could say I'm being cocky or whatever But one thing I know for sure is that my products are top tier my products are the best And my herbal teas Are the best and they work because I know what I put into it And I know what I use to create my products and teas So I know they can't be compared to nothing else in the market They can't be compared to nothing you can go on amazon or warmmark and buy So i'm about to start speaking life into myself and my business and If you're just sick of me by all means you can unsubscribe or unfollow Because let's be clear what I do what I offer what I create cannot be replicated by anyone anytime anywhere Okay, and no offense to any of the other skincare formulators out there But When I say this when I say this I mean this like My shit is different like my stuff cannot be compared to nothing else My energy is different. My magic is intentional What I put into my creation and offerings is on a whole other level And that's because this is more than just a business to me. It's my life Literally my life. I am a walking Reflection of my business. I live what I preach Okay, and anybody that know me can attest to that. I literally live what I preach So that's why what I do is different It's like I'm not even trying to be mean or you know bash anybody But what I do is different. I mean if you want the affordable smell good stuff Go to one of them other businesses by all means go to walmart go to amazon go to the other small skincare pop-ups But if you about your healing if you prioritize your health on a whole another level if you want trustworthy quality stuff Come get you some gem stylistic.
