Julieann T. Randall was born in Kingston, Jamaica, raised in the Bronx, New York. She obtained her degree through CUNY, City College.
As a passionate literacy advocate and youth empowerment speaker, Julieann created Finding the JEMS (Joint Educational Movement Soldiers) to shine a light on literacy and make reading a priority. Forming an army of relentless soldiers focused on higher education to support literacy development, Julieann sees it as her duty to introduce underprivileged children to their right to literacy by exposing them to books and educational programs they are normally not awarded. Through her organization, she orchestrated multiple book-drives which amassed 684 books. These books have reached the hands of children in NewYork, New Jersey, Chicago, and Jamaica.
Julieann, also known as Jules often refers to children as gems. Reminding them how precious and valuable they are. She is available for speaking engagements that will motivate future bookworms. She plans to reach many more children from the U.S. and other parts of the world through future book drives, programs, and donations.
Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why”. Julieann believes being an advocate for literacy is her divine assignment and suggests, we are all superheroes and possess our "super-powers". These powers are our skills, talents, and strengths. She has discovered many of her powers and is still uncovering more as she adjusts her cape.
Although she plays with numbers daily in the financial world, she manages to calculate words beautifully as well. She will release her first young readers’ on August 25th entitled Jade’s Journey and welcomes you to tag along.
