Today we’d like to introduce you to Jourdan Blair.
Jourdan, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I started writing and creating seriously in early 2017, so roughly two years ago. When I was in college – and even a little bit before I went off to school – I hit some pretty low points in my life that I stayed in for a pretty long time. As a result of my personal experiences in these years, I just always felt super caged in. I didn’t feel like my environments were healthy and essentially not conducive to personal growth or anything positive. I started to feel so marginalized and figuratively in a box. I decided to be the one who broke down the confines of the box I was in and I used writing and visuals as a primary medium to start expressing and stop suppressing. I created the Jourdan Blair Co. as a media and publishing company focused on inspiring individuals through an array of creative avenues.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I would describe the road as dynamic in nature. There have been many obstacles to achieving the level that I have currently reached. There have also been many successes or “wins” as some would say. I continuously identify many parts of my journey – especially recently – as components to my personal reinvention. I have literally established my company, from nothing and in order to do that I was surely going to encounter challenges along the way. Generating capital, establishing worthwhile connections, turning people into believers in my work, my craft, and my product, teaching myself new skills and continuing to find new ways to grow as a person and a professional likewise are a shortlist of challenges that I have faced. But such is life. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. When it comes to obstacles I will never take a loss, I only ever learn.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with The Jourdan Blair Co. – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
The Jourdan Blair Co. is a media and publishing company focused on inspiring individuals through an array of creative avenues. This includes literature, photography, design, video, overall content creation, and more. Personally, I specialize in writing, content creation, content curation, and modeling. I am a published author and a creative writer. This is primarily what I am known for, and as a company founded on my personal brand this is also what I am most proud of.
What sets me apart from others is my experience. My stories and my truths are all infused into my expressions. With consideration to that very idea, I recognize that each one of us has our own story, our own journey that has brought us to our respective this very moment in time, and I work to identify others who have the talent to express their accounts creatively and aim to showcase select works on my website.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Currently, I plan on finishing my second book and having it published soon. I am looking forward to my growth as a creator and the growth of my brand. I am constantly growing and learning and I am always becoming better. I soon hope to expand my creative writing scope to songwriting for recording artists and hopefully, one day, achieving the feat of writing or collaborating on a screenplay or TV series. Apart from that, there aren’t any major plans that I can reveal at the moment!
