Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jennifer Cook. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jennifer, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
The story behind my mission of consistently building class, confidence and courage comes distinctly from my personal journey of becoming a mother and entrepreneur.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Jennifer C. Cook, the daughter of Diane and The Late James G. Welch was born in Brooklyn, NY on January 4th. She is the youngest of six and comes from a blended family. Graduating from St. John’s University in 1995, she earned her degree in Paralegal Studies with a vision of becoming an attorney. Little did she know there would be a deeper and higher calling on her life.
Mother, speaker, lifestyle coach, beauty industry leader, award-winning fashionista and spiritual coach embodies who she is and what she does which later served as the impetus to launch Fashion the Mind, Fashion the Figure in 2015. The purpose of it is to redefine, reshape and restore class, confidence and courage within women and girls. Jennifer is a masterful teacher on the three C’s as they have proven to be the recipe for success in life. Through the execution of class, confidence and courage, Jennifer has propelled to a higher standard of living that has translated into earning 6-figures, promotional opportunities, various travel experiences and a well-defined network that is indescribable. The three C’s is why she is called The Triple “C” CEO, the one that consistently builds class, confidence and courage (her infamous motto). The impactful and life- changing message of class, confidence and courage delivered by her are oftentimes featured at conferences, panel discussions, interviews, etc. Her loving, kind spirit and openness to all continues to make her a highly sought- after speaker.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
There are two books in particular that have impacted me significantly. One is A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George and the other is Becoming by Michelle Obama.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
A little more than 10:years ago I became a single mother. My career was waffling, my finances were topsy-turvy and my life was filled with uncertainty as I stared into the eyes of my newborn. Fear and anxiety immediately took hold of me.
It was an extremely difficult season but I decided to find my inner voice and strength by trusting in the guidance of my higher power, working on me and connecting with a community of people that stood by my side just like guards that keep watch over Buckingham Palace.
Periodically, within my remembrance I would visualize the pages that I read in “A Woman After God’s Own Heart” where the writer talked about being the apple of God’s eye. This meant to me that no matter what situation I find myself the best was awaiting me. I simply had to stand strong and continue pressing forward.
