Beyond aesthetics, hair has the power to transform lives, instill confidence, and create connections that foster empowerment and belonging.
This is a different type of episode - this time I’m the one answering the questions. Join me and Simon Squibbs as we delve into the notion that purpose is not always an immediate revelation; rather, it's a beautiful evolution that requires patience and self-discovery.
As we explore the transformative power of purpose, we uncover how it goes beyond individual fulfillment and has the ability to create meaningful connections and communities.
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional perceptions and highlights the profound role of purpose in every aspect of our lives.
I'm thrilled to share my story with you in this special episode. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Davinia on the "Let's Make It Rain" podcast, and I'm excited to bring that conversation to my own podcast.
During our chat, I shared my experiences of starting the new year on Necker Island with Richard Branson and other incredible entrepreneurs, which was truly inspiring. We also delved into the pressing issue of the "texture tax" that black women often face when it comes to haircare products, and how Treasure Tress is working to address this disparity.
I opened up about how my niece inspired me to create Treasure Tress, and my deep commitment to investing in the next generation of young women. We also discussed my perspective on building wealth and creating options for ourselves and our communities.
I can't wait for you to join me on this journey as we dive into my story, my vision for Treasure Tress, and my unwavering dedication to empowering black women. This episode of She's Obsessed The Podcast is not to be missed!
An episode filled with so many "aha" moments! This was an episode I'd been looking forward to recording for a long time and it did not disappoint!
I was joined by Mandy Nyarko MBE - VP at Ada Ventures and Co-Founer of the Start Up Discovery School.
Mandy and I discussed:
the fact that pursuing your purpose is a privilege
you should be pursuing purpose and profit!
your purpose changes as you change
balance is a thing, but there are cycles
female entrepreneurs have to wear many hats, and inherit roles which impact their journey
cultural attitudes towards money
Follow Mandy @mandy_nyarko to keep up with her journey.
Building a brand teaches you many lessons and requires a variety of skills. Multitasking and exercising your creative muscles appear at the top of that list of skills!
Doing everything in your business is a blessing a curse.
The blessing - you know how everything functions and can train others.
The curse - you're strapped from time and capacity.
Creativity is a necessary ingredient for the formulation of any brand yet how does one protect their ideas? Pitching to clients is essential for B2B businesses but how do you avoid your ideas being stolen?
We switched positions for a second episode, and in this episode Jevetta Boyce asked me (Jamelia Donaldson) a few burning questions she had on the start up journey of TreasureTress.
We hope you enjoy!
Thank you for tuning into She's Obsessed The Podcast.
It was an incredible experience speaking with Jevetta (podcast producer and owner of 10th productions).
We spoke all things business, healing, projection, self-perception and self-esteem.
It was truly an uplifting and transformative episode - I truly help you enjoy it!
My conversation with @shannieloves continues... we explore all the importance of remaining curious, and open to learning. The fact that it isn't always about experience. Character and pro-activity can take you places experience some times can't. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode!
A conversation which could not be better timed. Before we headed out for brunch, I caught up with Shannie Mears Co-founder of The Elephant Room to lean into and learn from her experience of navigating the business world as a Black woman and remaining authentic. Edited and produced by 10th Production.
It has been a while - I know... but we're back now with new guests, new energy and new insights/experiences to share with you all.
Before we jump into new content we wanted to share with you our favourite episodes of 2021/2020 and highlight some key top tips from guests including: Trina Nicole, Remel London, David McQueen, Mori Abdul and snippets from my mentorship sessions.

Happy New Year!!!
Episode sponsored by @motorolauk A few months ago I announced my partnership with Motorola to gift someone with a brand new g100 and offer free mentorship for a month. While I shared my own experiences, I equally learnt a ton from Chantelle and her fresh approach to business. We spoke marketing campaigns, how to increase traction and spent a great deal of time talking through the importance of careful management of costs before they overtake revenue!
Give this episode a listen, and let us both know your thoughts! @jameliaisobsessed @tiashamiso
On this episode of She's Obsessed The Podcast, I caught up with Darren Tenkorang CEO/Founder of Trimit to explore his founding story, his growth to date, lessons he has learned throughout the years and the words of advice he has received from his investors.
My favourite takeaways were:
As a founder it is important to create the infrastructure and allow people to do what they're good at.
A leader has to be in servitude of their team and their company.
The ultimate goal is to inspire people to work harder as a leader.
Things do not get easier but you do build muscle memory!
If you haven't already seen Trimit on Channel 4's Money Maker, you can learn more about Darren @drntnk and trims @trimit
Let me know your thoughts and be sure to share with your friends and family

It has been a while to say the least, but I wanted to make sure that my next episode contained tangible advice that would allow you to pause, note take and continue. The next episode of She's Obsessed, the podcast is centered around tech and all the apps you need to help you launch and manage your start up no matter where you are in your journey. I also get to show off my new moto and all of the fancy things it can do to help me remain organised. A big priority for me this year was separating professional and personal, and physically splitting this between two phones has been a big part of this. any questions DM me @jameliaisobsessed, but ultimately let me know if you want to listen to more episodes like this! @motorolauk #PowertoEmpower #motog100 #ReadyFor @motorolauk #PowertoEmpower #motog100 #ReadyFor

The reality of lockdown and opportunities lockdown presented
The importance of black women being the room and sharing opportunities.
Pressure to make your business more palatable as a black owned business
Shying away from being the face of your brand/platform
The importance of black women being the face of their brand.
Owning your story - showing up as a founder
Fear of judgement
Representation in business and public platforms - confidence and joy are contagious
Pressure to over perform as black women
Comparison being the thief of joy
I hope you enjoy!

After some time away, I am back with a topic which is amongst the top questions I have received during my start up journey. How do you build a dream team? I couldn't be more excited to introduce you to my next guest Dr Anne Marie Imafidon MBE (YES - DR!). Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE is a British computing, mathematics and language child prodigy. She is one of the youngest to pass two GCSEs in two different subjects while in primary school. Imafidon founded and became CEO of Stemettes in 2013, a social enterprise promoting women in STEM careers.
We discuss all things required from a team perspective to grow businesses from scrappy start up's to well established SME's. This was a conversation I myself needed reminding of, so I hope you find it as useful as I did.
A throwback to our 4th Birthday Pop Up Shop 'Home of TT' Live Panel. To kick start our celebration of 4 years of business we hosted a press morning consisting of breakfast and a juicy panel talk ft. some beauty business greats including Sharmadean Reid (founder of Wah Nails x Beauty Stack), Lulu Pierre (founder of Boho Locs) and Andy Ayim (Angel Investor and founder of Angel Investing School). We discuss all things: creating businesses out of things you’re passionate about, valuing your lived experience, the importance of visual role models, being patient in journey as a creative, the power of pre-sale to manage cashflow, dominating the US market - BY ACCIDENT, the decision to bootstrap vs raise capital, never underestimating your own creative genius, paying homage to those who came before you in the industries you’re entering. I hope you enjoy! Please share + subscribe x
Officially my first lockdown interview (took me a while I know ) but definitely worth the wait. I speak with Chloe Downes (@frkle) about all things career progression, finding your passion, serving your community, representation, holding doors open to let others in and how to upgrade and create impactful/meaningful content during lockdown. Don't forget to subscribe, and share on socials and with your family and friends! Enjoy.
Before lockdown began and 2020 completely changed form, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Khalia Ismain, founder of Jamii. We discuss: preparing mentally and financially to recruit a solid team, being honest about your feeling while navigating starting a business, building jamii to where it is today, set backs being set ups for a stronger come back, and mainstream adoption of black culture.
Enjoy this episode as we explore the fact that launching a business is easy, running a business is the hard part. @ukjamii @jameliaisobsessed @treasuretress produced by @jevettaboyce
