The Woman Behind the Words

Meet Jalesa

Jalesa Washington is an educator and mentor who focuses on helping women of all ages become their best selves by increasing the love they have for oneself, which leads to an increase of their self-worth. She is currently the National Curriculum Director for Girls Leadership after being an educational administrator and teacher for over 8 years. She loves empowering youth and adults to achieve both their personal and professional goals by building authentic relationships with individuals. She always leads with love, compassion, empathy, humility, and respect. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. and being a product of the NYC public school system, she believes in the importance of seeing individuals as who they are and uses emotional intelligence to spark greatness in youth.

Jalesa’s passion of developing self-awareness and self- efficacy within individuals has blossomed throughout the years and has developed greatly over the last five years. Her deepened relationship with God through her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has allowed her to fully walk in the identity of a conqueror, always operating as a victor, and overcoming the bondage of having a victim mentality. She has been
featured on Humans of New York for her interactions with her students and has been a panelist at various events, highlighting the benefits of social emotional learning and culturally responsive education strategies. She holds a BS in Human Ecology from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and a MAT from the Relay Graduate School of Education. When Jalesa is not fulfilling her God-given purpose within
her work, she enjoys dancing, journaling, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

Excerpt from Chapter Five "Spiritual Stamina"
“So much depends on whether you fight against your circumstances or grow through it. This is a major lesson I’ve learned over the years as I now have started to live as a victor, not as a victim.” 
 
A Voice That Needs to be Heard

Speaking Topics

Resilience & Relationships: Building Identity Through Strength, Community, and Mentorship

At the end of this presentation, the audience will understand how identity is not just something we are born with, but something that is formed and revealed through resilience, especially in challenging times. By embracing difficulty and adversity, we can grow stronger and more self-aware. The foundation of building a resilient identity lies in cultivating intimacy with God, drawing strength from a supportive community, and utilizing the guidance of mentorship. Together, these elements shape our character, help us navigate life’s trials, and reveal who we truly are at our core.

Elevating Success: Being the Educator and Mentor a Child Needs

Educators will recognize the crucial role that listening to youth plays in shaping their effectiveness as mentors. By truly listening to students, educators not only understand their needs and challenges but also build trust and foster meaningful relationships. This active listening transforms educators from just teachers into mentors who guide, support, and inspire students. In doing so, educators become a powerful influence in the lives of young people, helping them navigate challenges and reach their full potential.

Tutoring Testimonials

My daughter connected instantly with Ms. Washington... Her relatable teaching style made learning comfortable and enjoyable. She took time to understand my daughter’s needs and never rushed through lessons. Over time, I saw real growth—academically and emotionally. My daughter began to enjoy math and gained confidence. I highly recommend Ms. Washington—her calm, supportive approach makes her the kind of educator every child deserves.
My family's experience with Ms. Washington tutoring with my brother has had a significant impact on his academic journey. After his sessions, he scored Level 3s and 4s on both of his state exams, and just a few months later, he achieved a 99% on his ELA exam. Beyond academics, I’ve seen a noticeable boost in his confidence, which has been just as rewarding to witness as his academic progress. I would highly recommend Ms. Washington services. Her patience and attention to details were truly commendable and greatly appreciated.
