We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Juicy Jay a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Juicy Jay, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
I get my resilience from my mother. Growing up I thought she was a superhero; like she could withstand and do anything. I always admired her hustle and get-the-job-done attitude.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Time management
Strong organizational skills
Effective communication
My advice to others early in their journey is: never stop learning. The most successful people are those who realize they do not know everything.
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
The most impactful thing my parents did for me was love me! They allowed me to be me, I never felt like I had to assimilate to any standard with them. I’ve always been “different” and they loved and praised my uniqueness. That type of love and grace made me who I am today.
