Meet Jayda L

We recently connected with Jayda L and have shared our conversation below.

Jayda, thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?
Well, I am 13 years old so my creativity runs wild still and my mom has always taught me to follow your dreams. A dream doesn’t just come to you and happen you have to have hard work and dedication. Honestly, sometimes because it is my dream to blog and my mom just helps with edits and posts, I feel I have to work 10 times harder. It is hard to grow an Instagram page and with my mom not being a blogger or influencer, it is harder because I do not have the support of big pages or friends accounts. My dream and my determination keeps my creativity alive.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I am a 13 year old girl with a dream to blog and show people budget friendly places to make memories with their family. I have a special genetic condition called hemihypertrophy plus epilepsy, ocd, and anxiety. I also am growing up in a single parent household which also means single parent income, and unfortunately we lost both my nanny and papa to terminal cancer so making memories are so important to me but the budget aspect is very important to my mom. You see my memories with my grandparents are all I have left and people normally don’t realize how special time is until it is to late. I was blessed with the opportunity of knowing both my nanny and papa were sick before it was to late so memories and adventures I will always cherish and save. I feel so many kids now a days stay inside and focus around electronics and game systems and miss the fun. On the other hand with things being so expensive I worry that parents are not aware of the free and affordable ways to have fun or what is truly worth saving for. This is where I come in and show you all the places and the things you can do for fun most places include budget friendly deals and discounts that they offer that no one knows about. Also, sometimes people don’t even know a place exists until someone post about it. I focus mostly on things to do in Ohio but eventually I want to explore all 50 states! This way people know places they can take a staycation or vacation getaway.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Well my journey isn’t over! I am still learning and creating daily. Trying to reach my goal of 10k followers on Instagram and show people that mommy and I have alot of knowledge of fun places to explore on a budget. The main thing that I keep telling myself is to NEVER give up and sometimes that is harder to say when you see other accounts growing and your not but determination will give you the reward.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
I am always looking for opportunities to work with companies or businesses no matter the size to collaborate with. I want to show people where they can go for adventure, fun, shopping, and dinner. As long as it is teen and family friendly I am always up for an opportunity. They can reach me by email as it is also monitored by my mom and we respond together. jaydasadventures@gmail.com
