Conversations with the Inspiring Jazmyne Bursey

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jazmyne Bursey.

Jazmyne, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Almost four years ago today, I was lost, I was in a really bad time in my life where I didn’t know where to go or who I wanted to be. One day, I woke up and decided that this isn’t what I want to do anymore, I no longer wanted to be lost or sad. I no longer wanted to feel like a piece of me is missing. So, I created a YouTube channel. I wanted my channel to show happiness, positivity, motivation, self-love and being okay with who you are. The only thing about that was, I didn’t know how to spread that message. It took a lot of Research, a lot of trial and error and a lot of dedication! Now, I have been spreading that message not only through my vlogs on YouTube but on all of my other social media platforms. I do vlogs where I show people that I too go through struggles but I get through them and stay strong. I get vulnerable on my channel and share stories that people can relate to. Every day, I try to share that people are not alone and that we are one and the same just going through life. And I spread these messages through my personal stories and experiences. I hope to help change everyone’s life and show them anything is possible and to not give up.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It wasn’t easy in the beginning because I was still trying to find my self-confidence and self-love and worth. But once I found it and was able to utilize it, I was able to soar. There’s always going to be bumpy roads, no matter what it is that you want to do. The first thing to accomplishing anything is to just get up and do it. Don’t care what others think because it’s about you and your happiness. Bumps are made to get over them, it’s how you get over them and keep going is what matters. Don’t give up because the moment you do is the moment you lose yourself. Dreams are supposed to be made and goals are supposed to be accomplished. You just got to get up and do it.

Please tell us more about your work, what you are currently focused on and most proud of.
I am a public/vlogger/motivator/influencer. I specialize in motivational speaking, uplifting others, spreading positive and just showing people that anything is possible. I create daily/weekly vlogs where I get personal and share my stories and I also just show them my daily life and the struggles that I go through so people do not feel alone. My goal in all this is to change others lives and help them accomplish their dreams and goals as well. What separates me from the others is that I am not afraid to be myself and be vulnerable and show people that I hurt too or I struggle too. I go above and beyond with content making sure that all my followers and listeners are engaging. Engagement with your consumer or audience is very very important.

Who do you look up to? How have they inspired you?
The women that inspired me is honestly my mother and grandmothers. I have watched all of them take the most speed bumps in the road and they may have fallen a few times but they never gave up. My mother especially, she was pretty much taking care of and raising three kids on her own. And I’ve seen this woman go through so many trials and tribulations, but growing up, I’ve never heard complaints. I just watched her keep going. She didn’t have all the tools on how to raise a kid when she is three but she did an amazing job juggling work, mom life, and being a wife. She’s the reason I don’t give up.
