ABOUT THE SPEAKER: DAINNESE JACKSON Author

Dainnese "Lil Dai-Dai" Jackson, a native of San Diego, California, shares her inspiring journey from a challenging past to becoming the phenomenal woman she is today. Born and raised in the Southeast hood of San Diego, Dainnese acknowledges her earlier struggles and admits to being a hard-headed individual, frequently involved in trouble and associating with what she thought were friends. Over time, she became more discerning about her circle of friends, keeping it small. After graduating from San Diego High in 2003, Dainnese enrolled directly into college, pursuing a major in Criminal Justice. Despite facing complex partial seizures due to epilepsy for many years, she remained passionate about writing from a young age. Becoming a book author was her lifelong aspiration, and after undergoing an eight-hour brain operation in 2011 to address her seizures, Dainnese has been seizure-free for five years. Dainnese's renewed dedication to writing was sparked by the reentry of a person from her past into her life in 2010. This event, occurring shortly after the end of a tumultuous relationship, prompted her to pick up her pen and delve into writing seriously. The emotional upheaval caused by the reappearance of this individual, who ultimately caused significant turmoil in her life, served as the catalyst for her writing journey. Influenced by authors like Wahida Clark, Ashley & JaQuavis, Kiki Swinson, Cliff Johnson, and Brandi White, Dainnese found motivation to share her story. In 2016, following her heart, Dainnese signed with book author/publisher Racquel Williams, and on April 5th, 2016, her book was released. The book quickly gained popularity, reaching the best-selling list on Amazon. Dainnese's future goals include continuing to write more books, penning her autobiography based on her life and brain surgery, and eventually turning her story into a movie.

Jaclyn Whitt, also known as Princess of Yah to her music fans, has always been a fan of the performing arts. Music played a huge role in her childhood, teaching her both music and discipline. Acting was a close second. Though she had fewer opportunities to pursue acting, friends and family had no choice but to endure her many characters she developed, complete with accents and backstories. She began writing sketches for stage in her early teens and wrote her first feature length film script in her early 20's. Jaclyn produced her first album of instrumental music at the age of 19. A little more than a decade later, she released her second album under the artist name "Princess of Yah". Life got busy, as life does with children and a new marriage, and music and writing had to take a back seat for a time. She joined with her husband to run their family business; an online Christian radio station, where she wrote and produced several commercials and was one of the main voices on air. In 2019, she discovered a love for audio book narration when her husband presented the idea. It was a great fit as it required both acting and audio production. But, when a friend introduced her to a screenwriting professor who was willing to take her under his wing and mentor her, she dove in whole-heartedly and hasn't looked back!
