I would like to thank you for being a rainbow in my life. I thank God for your love, support and guidance. As I reflect over the years how you have been here for me, I really appreciate you and I Thank you for creating Women On The Grow. You are an answered prayer. In 1993 I had an emotional breakdown, I was mad at God, I didn't understand why I had to have dysfunctional parents, both of them were on drugs, on top of that my mother was mentally ill. I was frustrated, I had just moved back to Los Angeles California from Chico California where I experienced racism first hand and I didn't know how to deal with it, there were so many things going wrong in my life and I needed guidance ASAP.
I remember falling down on my knees, praying and crying to God, I need help! please send me some beautiful black women to help me navigate this thang called life. It was about a week later, my prayer was answered God sent me you and four other beautiful women. Thank you so much for creating a safe place where I could heal. Thank you for teaching me coping skills, thank you for your LeadHERship classes. your relationship workshops. I just wanted to say thank you for your love, wisdom and support. You Rock Jewel Diamond Taylor. Because of you I am a better mother, wife, sister, friend and I am able to help other women heal, because of you I am a better teacher. I love you Jewel. – JoAnn Mitchell
Where do I start? My journey has been interesting recently. I experienced a place in my life where I needed direction. My compass was not directing me to my good. I am so good at helping everyone else. I reached out to Jewel Diamond Taylor for life coaching. I have learned “No.” is a complete sentence. I am growing thanks Jewel” ~ Nichelle
"Women on the Grow events have and continue to inspire, encourage and empower me. I always take away a feeling of exponential growth! It's life changing! Soul refreshing. Women so desperately need to be uplifted and rejuvenated on a regular basis. I see so many "battered" women just beat up by life! It's hard to express all that Jewel and Women on the Grow do to help ”fix" that!" - Trena Lawson

I look forward to her intuitive teachings that are nurturing to my mind, body and soul." ~ Arnetha Harrison
Attending and participating in Jewel’s Women on the Grow” events has made me start practicing what I often preach to my clients but didn’t really have time for my own “self-care.” Taking time to invest in myself, learn, share and connect with other women and form new friendships has been a true blessing. Jewel is not only an inspiration but her honesty and transparency makes it easier for us to take off our own masks and be open and vulnerable. Her positive and inspirational messages are always right on time. – Marie Greene
