Resonate

I’m like Benita Butrell nobody bet not say nothing bad about Michelle! I don’t have anything negative to say about her like Benita says about Ms. Jenkins. I can see myself as her actual friend, I listen to her and absorb her as if she’s my personal life coach and mentor. I’m ignoring all the jealous naysayers because they’re sad and pitiful and they only wish they could be this incredible. I love you Michelle and your children and your husband. And specifically to deraild77, I’m 100% convinced that you are a pitiful excuse of a human being and if toe to toe with FFLOTUS you would cower like the ignorant insignificant coward that you are. I hope life slaps you in the face with busted asphalt.

Motivational

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Jessica Walker, and I am reaching out to you today because I am incredibly passionate about sharing my experience as an entrepreneur and the journey that has led me to create a mentorship program for young girls called The Glow Up Movement for young girls ages 13-21.
As a successful entrepreneur, I have faced many challenges and overcome numerous obstacles along the way. I believe that by sharing my story on your podcast, I can inspire and empower others who are also on their entrepreneurial journey. Additionally, I am excited to discuss the mentorship program I have developed to support and guide young girls as they navigate through their own paths to success.
I believe that my message aligns with the mission and values of your podcast, and I would be honored to have the opportunity to be a guest on your show. I am confident that our conversation would not only provide valuable insights for your listeners but also help to amplify the impact of my mentorship program.
I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you and sharing my story with your audience. Please let me know if you would like additional information or if there are any further steps required from my end.

Warm regards,
Jessica Walker
