ABOUT J. Lee-Coley
An early traveler and public servant, Jonathan "Jazz" has spent time living on every coast of America. During his time growing up in diverse communities, he always found himself opportunities to give back to those less blessed then him. By the age of eleven he already founded his first non-profit organization, Jazz's Friendz Foundation. With sponsorship from Walmart, Target, and SportKidz he held events at children hospitals and orphanages in 41 states.
Fast forward ten years later and he's still on a mission to better the quality of life for those suffering. His new agenda centers on influencing research and policy concerning victims and survivors of Human Trafficking crimes, domestically and internationally. In addition, Jazz has become a researcher of how people actually experience Freedom and its impact on their choice-making. This advocate for Freedom wishes to get everyone talking about their experiences, so we can establish the universal standard definition of Freedom we severely lack.
Experience:
His experiences growing up as a child actor turned powerful leader and strategist is full of interesting moments. Jazz has spent his life going from working on multi-million dollar productions to briefing the Obamas at their Foundation. The life skills and high-profile workspaces he has worked in has given him the clarity few possess to communicate across all sectors.
His background in both the arts and public policy
granted him the ability to effectively engage audiences, stakeholders, colleagues, and even young people in the conversations he thinks are too important not to have. His intuitiveness is cunning and his analysis is sharp.
