5 Questions
1. FRNJ: What made you become a business owner?
Jeanetta Warren: I became a business owner because I saw a critical gap in access to professional development within the Black and Brown communities. Despite our deep wells of talent, skill, and resilience, many of us were not given the tools or opportunities to translate our potential into high-paying, fulfilling careers. I wanted to be part of changing that narrative. I wanted to create a bridge between the untapped brilliance within our communities and the often “gatekept” knowledge and resources that lead to career success. My business is rooted in equity, empowerment, and ensuring our communities thrive professionally and economically.
2. FRNJ: Why did you select your current field?
Jeanetta Warren: I chose this field because my story reflects the very challenge, I now help others overcome. As a highly educated Black professional, I still found myself struggling to navigate the job market. I didn’t know how to position myself for the opportunities. That experience opened my eyes to how widespread the issue was, especially for Black and Brown individuals who are often the first in their families to enter certain industries or professional spaces. I immersed myself in research, learned the nuances of career positioning, and realized that something as seemingly basic as a resume could be a powerful tool for transformation. Today, I dedicated my work to demystifying the job search process, helping our communities understand their worth, and teaching them how to advocate for themselves through career strategy.
3. FRNJ: What do you enjoy the most about being a business owner?
Jeanetta Warren: What brings me the most joy is being able to uplift and educate people in my community. Seeing someone gain clarity about their career path, land a role that changes their financial trajectory, or finally feel seen and valued in the workplace. That’s what drives me! I love being a source of knowledge and support, helping Black and Brown professionals reclaim their power and see their careers as vehicles for generational change. It’s more than business—it’s a mission to transform lives.
4. FRNJ: How important is it for you to have positive Black role models in business?
Jeanetta Warren: It’s absolutely essential. Representation matters, and not just symbolically. Seeing Black entrepreneurs and leaders in action affirms what’s possible. It shows our youth, and even our peers, that we can create, lead, and innovate. When we witness someone who looks like us building successful businesses, we internalize the belief that we, too, can carve out spaces of power and purpose. Positive role models plant seeds of hope, ambition, and resilience in our communities. They break generational barriers and remind us that we are not only capable but worthy of success.
5. FRNJ: Anything else you would like to add?
Jeanetta Warren: Success doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through intention, community, and support. There’s a saying: “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” I believe it’s our collective responsibility to ensure our people have both direction and support. As the African proverb says, “each one, teach one.” That is more than a saying—it’s a call to action. In my role as New Jersey Career Development President, I view myself as a link in the chain, committed to lifting as I climb. When one of us rises, we all do. That’s why we must be the tide that lifts every boat; building systems, sharing resources, and creating a culture of collective success.
