WHO IS JAMICKA
Jamicka Edwards is a proud Army Veteran who served at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington State. She persevered through many obstacles and challenges when pursuing her college degree. After attending 6 different colleges, she achieved her dream and now holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Management.
Jamicka has realized her passion and calling is motivating and inspiring others to live life to the fullest. She published her first book in 2014 entitled, – You Matter, What would living in your purpose everyday look like? If resilient, determined, and persistent had a face you might just see hers smiling next to them. She couples her love of motivational speaking with goal setting to be an inspiration to many. Although Jamicka has experienced many trials in life, she is an overcomer and strives to give others hope.
Jamicka never liked running, but 13 years post-military she set a goal and completed her first Half Marathon. This led to her completing her first Marathon. Her greatest challenge on the pavement was celebrating her 42nd birthday by running 42 miles…and in true Jamicka fashion…she did it!
As an active member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., Jamicka translated her love for fitness into service on the Health and Wellness Committee for her local chapter. She was appointed Fitness and Wellness Liaison for Central Region SGRho.
Jamicka’s philanthropic heart has birthed other movements to demonstrate her love for encouraging people. It started with Jamicka bringing food and clothing to the homeless. She turned her car into what is now called Mobile Blessings. As a single mother, she could also relate to the plight of women struggling to raise their kids on their own. This brought about You Matter Moms where Jamicka pays it forward in honor of those that have helped her along the way. Although Jamicka has experienced many trials in life, she is an overcomer and strives to give others hope. She is raising her three sons in Indianapolis, Indiana, and teaching them that they matter.
