Today we’d like to introduce you to Nora Jacques.
Hi Nora, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My speaking career began in church, from 14 years old, speaking in youth services, Black History recitals, poetry nights and full length screenplays. As co-founder of Jax- Media Design Group, I was able to lead talks on branding, the future of marketing and personal and business alignment. Audience and event hosts have said that my talks were engaging, useful, and eye-opening.
I also lead the Proverbs 31 Sisterhood Facebook Group composed of over 500 women from Nigeria, Ghana, Texas, Georgia, Maryland and more, where I lead biweekly chats about purpose, entrepreneurship, motherhood and faith.
I got my start at my local church. We had an amazing youth program that afforded me with the opportunity to sing, write, create and collaborate, these are all skills I continue to use in my storytelling agency today. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, from grade-school poems to skits to articles, plays and television scripts.
I graduated Howard University with a degree in Biology, however I immediately began a career in communications, as a production assistant for a local nonprofit television program called, Heart 2 Heart, which aired globally. There, I wrote scripts, promos, email promotions and marketing campaigns.
I was eventually promoted within the organization to the role of Marketing Manager, where I learned that I had a knack for sales and promotional copywriting.
When I met my husband, he helped bring out my entrepreneurial side. We began to partner to create websites and digital marketing campaigns. After over a decade of experience as a digital marketing consultant, my passion was for telling stories to make an impact in my community. I pursued a graduate education at American University and recently received my Master’s degree in Journalism and Digital Storytelling.
In 2024, Ethos Interactive, LLC was born with a mission to tell stories that spark movements.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My biggest challenge along the way is learning to believe and invest in myself. It was easy for me to give my heart and soul into a client’s project, however, when it came time for me to achieve a personal goal to build my brand or to scale my business, I struggled.
I had to learn to love myself before I could pour out to others through my business.
