While young women are mobilizing communities today more than ever before, many lack the public speaking resources and platforms necessary to fully realize their change. As an activist, community mobilizer, and avid speaker, Jana experienced how few spaces actively centered around and uplifted the voices of young women like herself. She saw how BIPOC young women, young women from the global south, and young women of various religious and ethnic backgrounds were very rarely invited to the table. To address these issues, she created J Strategy to work with young women on their public speaking and storytelling skills and to connect them with podcasts, panels, events, and media opportunities to amplify their voices.
