Rare Jewel Enterprises (RJE)

How did Rare Jewel Enterprises Begin?

Rare Jewel Enterprises (RJE) was a natural progression of the impact that Rare Jewel has had on corporations, nonprofits, and individuals for many years. Rare Jewel pivoted poetry from a hobby to adding value locally, nationally and around the globe with her intentional collision of the art of poetic flow.

Having been asked to speak on multiple occasions in a variety of settings and industries, Rare Jewel customizes her approach for her audience. From C-suite strategic planning sessions to new hire orientations to environmental health and safety compliance training to youth events, Rare Jewel has a proven history of electrifying, elevating, and energizing any message.

Rare Jewel Enterprises (RJE) provides a 1 of 1, unique, premium, customly curated, luxury experience through the electrifying, elevating, and energizing of the rhythmic and melodic flow of spoken word infused motivational speaking or the Rare Jewel Digital Experience.

Catalyst to Formalize into Rare Jewel Enterprises

After clients sought me out to provide a premium service for their vow renewal destination wedding in Nassau, Bahamas at a 5-Star Sandals Resort with the ceremony occurring on an exclusive private island, something sparked in Rare Jewel to transition from individual to entity. Rare Jewel curated a customized poem for the bride and groom that she performed immediately before the exchange of vows, engaging the wedding guests with the words that not only described the couple’s love for one another, but evoked emotions of everyone gathered. From this, the Rare Jewel Signature Services were born!

Immediately after performing in the Bahamas, another international client in Nairobi, Kenya asked Rare Jewel to poetically and creatively capture her sincere words of expression to her husband that culminated in their wedding at yet another 5-Star venue, the renowned Vila Rosa Kempinski Hotel Nairobi, Kenya.

Inspiration for the Rare Jewel Name

"...but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel"- Proverbs 20:15 International Standard Version

"An excellent woman [one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous], who is he who can find her? Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls." Proverbs 31:10 Amplified
