EP52 Church, Blues and Pepper Spray - Juwana Jenkins

The Bla Bla Bunker

Juwana Jenkins is one of Philadelphia’s finest exports, singer, songwriter & performer. She is renowned for her rich delivery and fiery presence as a headliner at international events and music festivals.
But Juwana also works as a mentor, coach and facilitator, guiding with humour and warmth, for transformational insights and development. She collaborates with international Companies and top level managers and helps them to find those golden "Aha!" moments.
Juwana was a University professor in South Korea and her plan was always to go back home to the US, but she ended up in Prague in the Czech Republic and is still there 23 years later.
We talked about her childhood, how she went to Church every Sunday despite not being religious, how her father decided to shelter her and her sisters from racism, how her mom gave her a pepper spray when she had to go around her rough neighbourhood and where her love for music came from.
And as usual, a LOT more.

You can hear some of Juwana's music on the episode and on her webpage you can find details of her tour that starts in February 2022 https://www.juwanajenkins.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/3L9LVWXODopcuddvfunmOK https://www.instagram.com/juwanajenkins/ https://www.facebook.com/JuwanaJenkins https://www.youtube.com/user/juwanajenkins https://www.linkedin.com/in/juwanajenkins/
