Get to know me!
Jade B. Robinson
I'll be honest (I love being honest), I don't sugarcoat things. Always direct and straight to the point about everything. Originally a New York native, living in the South since 2008, my friends commonly know me as the New York Sweetheart. After 14+ years in the corporate world, I resigned from my role as a manager in 2019 becoming a full time entrepreneur. As a true servant leader with an assertive disposition, I proudly manage two thriving hospitality companies (J.R. Events & All About You Staffing) in Northeast Florida with expansion happening in North Carolina & Texas.
Nominated as a Professional Business Woman of the Year in 2019 by the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce's Professional Woman’s Council and later enduring a global pandemic in 2020; I am excited to share the story of how my companies went from thriving to surviving and back to thriving again!
I will share stories of how I persevered with limited resources and maintained the discipline to reach my goals through my transparency and empathetic ability to connect with an audience.
