About Me

"Just Be Inc. was born in a moment of clarity"As a young person, do you sometimes feel confused about a variety of things from conflicting messages to conflicting adults? Well, as adults we feel the same confusion at times. The difference is we are able to cope with the confusion a little better because of the lessons life has taught us. If, however, we were able to harness our collective experiences and life lessons and take them back to our youth, many adults would grab the chance to go back and relive with our current knowledge.What's even more surprising is that sometimes as adults we also realize that we had a lot of the tools and knowledge we needed for life as children, we just didn't have a guide to show us how to use what we had.In a moment of clarity, the founders of Just Be Inc. realized that as young people, particularly, as young women full of life and love, you don't always need to be given rules and regulations for life, just the keys to open your own treasure chest full of everything you need to Just Be!Just Be Inc, through the JEWEL program, wants to help you find your voice, define your purpose and prepare yourself-physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and culturally for passage into womanhood.Your journey doesn't start with this process and won't end with it. As guides we are here to do just that-guide you. Your journey to self-discovery will inform our on going process as much as our experiences will assist you in where you're going.At the end of the day we want you to use what you get here and create your own guide for life. There is so much to "be" in the world and we hope you begin to realize that here-it's up to you to fill in the blanks. Click here for Myspace glitter graphics and Myspace layouts
