Meet Your program DIRECTOR
Hi, I’m Ms. Jay, Director of the Polished & Paid Youth Program and the Women’s Wellness & Wealth Program.
I’ve been a licensed manicurist for 11 years, a nail instructor for 5 years, and the owner of JPT Beauty Bar for 7 years. I’m also preparing to open my own cosmetology school in Spring 2026.
Beyond beauty, my passion is mentoring young ladies and supporting mothers. As a single mom to my 6-year-old daughter, Hazel D AKA Baby D, I understand firsthand what it feels like to struggle, juggle life, and need help and resources.
That’s why this work means so much to me.
I believe real change starts at home. When we empower mothers — emotionally, mentally, and financially — we automatically uplift the children, too. Helping the mom helps the child, and strengthening the child strengthens the whole family.
This program is about building young women and moms who are polished, paid, confident, and powerful.
I’m here to support your growth, stability, and self-worth.
Let’s grow together. ✨
