I shared a post recently on my Facebook and Instagram discussing the difficulties I’ve faced but more importantly what my mother has faced.
However, I had to remove the post, due to the fact it was still too difficult for my mother to see written in black and white.
That kind of pain, shame, embarrassments, anger and frustration, I will never know. It haunts me to see my mother go through it alone, as I’ve never had to deal with racism as she has. The simple fact is we are both proudly mixed raced women. I’m white mixed-race, and mum is black mixed-race.
WE ARE THE SAME, YET TREATED SO DIFFERENTLY!
When she tells me her stories, I’m embarrassed and sicken to hear people can act a certain way. It saddened me to think there are still cruel, shortsighted, small-minded ignorant people in the world.
We are multicultural, educated, well travelled, have the world literally in our laps. We understand science, DNA, genetics.
Then why the hatred, the fear, why is white privilege still a thing, and yes I’m part of that privilege too.
It’s disappointing that our evolution of empathy, compassion, self-awareness, is so slow. Still guided by the ego, the belief that certain people are above others, the righteous minded with a power-hungry attitude.
It’s about time we attacked this issue face on. I know my mum would have loved this kind of anti-racism support when she was growing up, and I’m just glad it’s around while she is still alive.
Hopefully, in her lifetime, we will see a change in the world. One where we are all equal, all privilege, all-loving. Acting as one race, the human race.
As you can imagine it is scary to write about such things for fear of backlash. But if we all stay quiet because of fear we will never move forward.

What Makes This Different:
Let's Cut the Fluff
and Get You Moving
Look, you already know what you're supposed to do. Post consistently. Raise your prices. Show up on video. Network more. Build systems.
The problem isn't knowledge; it's actually putting it into practice.
That's where I come in. My coaching isn't about giving you more tactics to add to your overwhelm. It's about figuring out what's actually stopping you (usually it's psychology, not logistics) and dismantling those blocks.
Here's how it works:
EMCC Award Winner | 25 Years Self-Employed | Dual Master's in Psychology & Coaching | England-Based
We spend 90 minutes digging into what's really holding you back. I'll ask the questions you've been avoiding asking yourself. We identify the root cause, not the surface symptom.
Then we build your action plan. Not a 47-page strategy doc you'll never look at. Three to five specific actions you'll take in the next week. With accountability.
You'll also receive my resource kit, which includes the actual systems, templates, and contacts I use in my business. Plus 7 days of access to me on Slack to keep momentum going.
Fair warning: I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. I'm going to tell you what you need to hear.
I was trying to launch my beauty business in the middle of a pandemic and had no idea where to start with marketing.
After working with Jerri, I did my first Instagram Live with confidence, expanded my audience significantly, and am now fully booked. Jerri's social media expertise and coaching style filled me with excitement instead of dread.

Beauty Business Owner
Creative Shop Owner
Before meeting Jerri, I was struggling to get my new creative shop off the ground, but since our meeting, she has moved my business forward by helping me to build my confidence with promoting, marketing and finding my customer base, all these essential elements which unknown to me were important for my business to be a success.
I found her attitude very professional, and she made it fun and easy to understand, I can now use all the knowledge to help my business continually grow with confidence. I would happily recommend Jerri to anyone who is stuck in moving forward or looking for new creative ideas in getting their business on the map. I am extremely grateful for her support and guidance.
Anna
Self-Employed Mother
"Working with Jerri was a very open and supportive experience. I was completely stuck in my business, holding down a family, and two jobs made me an emotional wreck; each day, I was anxious because I didn't want to waste time focusing on the wrong steps.
Jerri provided space for me - showing empathy and understanding - which was powerful. The session allowed me to confront my fears, work through barriers and provide actionable steps to move me forward. It was so helpful to work with someone genuinely passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. Thank you, Jerri, for your encouragement and expertise -
I will be forever grateful."
Trisha
Self-Employed Creative
Terrified of showing up on Instagram, getting inconsistent enquiries
After working with Jerri, I did my first Instagram Live, developed a content strategy that feels authentic, and am now getting 2-3 qualified leads per week.
'Jerri's enthusiasm for business and marketing is second to none. Her knowledge gave me the confidence to grow my business by 40% in three months.
