For most of her life, Josevie Jackson has experienced one obstacle after another. At a very early age she began to search for a way to reach her dreams -regardless of her circumstances and sometimes, overwhelming situations. She started out as a runaway, and teenage mom doomed to a life of poverty and mediocrity. Her struggles include being abused as a young child to being completely bedridden due to health. Josevie’s tremendous persistence and dedication to live the best life possible and her stubbornness NOT to settle created an insatiable desire to learn more about being a success — and a desire to share her knowledge with others.

Josevie grew up in a small, Midwestern town in IL. She was raised by a single-mother part time and the other half of the time by her paternal grandparents. She is a continual student of life and a serial entrepreneur, writing her first book at age 8 and starting her first business at age 20. Josevie utilizes her life experiences and expert strategies to motivate and inspire others. 

Josevie's role as an innovator and leader is undeniable. She is a multi-talented speaker, author, world traveler, radio show host, blogger, realtor, international business consultant and performance coach. With her God-given talents and know-how, she has become an advocate for others to gain freedom from their struggles. Her goal in writing Thrive & Be Somebody is that she hopes to guide each reader on his/her own transformative journey to freedom and permanent change. Her life-goal is to make a positive & lasting impact on the lives of others. 

She currently lives in Arizona with her husband. She is mother to six children and four grandsons.
