We were lucky to catch up with Jacquelene Amoquandoh recently and have shared our conversation below.

Jacquelene , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?

My storytelling has transformed over the years, but at the heart, my goal has always been to create meaningful work. At times my meaningful writing was for my soul practice: poetry, prose, songwriting, and lifestyle articles. At other times my storytelling has been to create an impact. I have worked with human rights organizations and impact-driven companies to tell stories of those who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to share, all in the name of raising awareness, creating engagement, and moving someone (the reader) to make a difference. As I grew, so did my writing. My mindfulness practice grew after I became a mother. With this new practice, my writing shifted, growing and combining with my mindfulness practice. I realized how powerful words, writing, and journaling are to calm our sorrows, worries, anxiety, and the constant overload many women experience. I began to write more intuitively, meditating before writing sessions and letting the words flow. I saw a space to lead intuitive writing circles with other women and together we transformed through our words. Writing has the power to manifest your dreams, create more space for your desires, and open to your truest self.

Jacquelene , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am a storyteller, copywriter, and intuitive soul. My work and words are written to create an impact. Whether working with nonprofits, mystics, small business owners, or leading my own classes, I use my writing to engage with the audience. Words are incredibly powerful and are an opportunity to showcase your business, tell your story, and create a movement.

My lifestyle articles and editorial work have been published in POPSUGAR, Better Homes and Garden, The Culture-ist, and Elephant Journal. My poetry has been read by thousands, and I frequently read allowed at poetry evenings. In 2022 I had the opportunity to open the Poetry Festival in Charleston, SC where I read a meaningful poem about grief, our connection to nature, and my mother who passed away in the Summer of 2022. She was an artist, I carry her work through my words.

As a copywriter, I work to transform my client’s visions into meaningful copy that is easy to read, creative and drives further interest. I have worked with universities, nonprofits, and small businesses to transform their web copy, curate newsletters, and write poetic product descriptions.

My heart and soul is in my writing for mindfulness. I lead intuitive writing classes where we gather as a small circle to meditate, write our souls, out, and openly discuss the transformation we feel when writing.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Often when you are running a business finances can be a rollercoaster and with that comes an emotional rollercoaster as well. I have managed to push through my chaos to create. I have remained resilient, creating a routine to get my work done on time, learning what brings me joy and what to cut out, and how to find my own balance. When you are your own boss, it is your job to push yourself to meet your goals, keep yourself grounded, and make the time.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

My goal is to create change, share meaningful stories, and awaken others to the power of writing. My passion has carried my work. I love working with impact-driven organizations that are creating light in our dark world, changing lives, and fighting for human rights. I hope to guide others on their own spiritual journeys to use writing as a form of self-care, dream mapping, and manifestation.
