We had the good fortune of connecting with Miss J.T. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Miss, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Honestly it’s wanting better for myself and the people around me. I use that as fuel to pursue the things I love such as producing and directing because I want so much more for my family. I’ve been provided with such love and support that I can’t help but feel like I can achieve anything.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Well first and foremost I’m an all around creative. I consider myself the “ Jill of all Trades” because there are so many things that I have been blessed to not only be passionate about, but are actually capable of doing them. To put a title on it tho, I’m a creative director as well as a producer. I’m currently producing my own docuseries known as Stylish which follows myself and the agency I co-run known as FY models

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oh baby we are definitely going to Milk & Honey for brunch! I adore that place. I also would probably plan a trip to this vineyard I was told about that has a cute wine tour and overnight stay experience which would be cute! And honestly a cute restaurant for dinner!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I have a great support system! My family are amazing at giving the balance of tough love and unconditional love and with that comes genuine support that I don’t think I could do half of the things I do without it, My brother and mother especially! I’d have to also say my best friend Fro(Kiid Fro) who provides me with the energy I need to kick my laziness out the way and really get the job done.
