This Is Who I Am

    BUSINESS

    Jackie King - A Financial Trailblazer

              Jackie King is a Regional Leader for Edward Jones and the first woman of color ever announced to this distinguished position at her firm.  In her role, she is the liaison between the home office in St. Louis, MO, and 70+ branch teams in three counties.  In 2021, Jackie reached a new pinnacle in her career at Edward Jones and became a principal partner in the firm.  Her office is located in the Koury Corporate Building in Greensboro, NC.       


     Jackie’s drive for success stems from her humble upbringing.  She was born to a single mother and lived with her mom, grandparents, and six of her mother’s siblings in a two bedroom home until she was seven years old.  “Money problems were common throughout my childhood”, says King.  In fact, even after her mother married, they would still only grocery shop twice a month on payday.  “We never had money any other time.” Eating a fast food meal during this time was considered splurging.  Looking back, she doesn’t know if it was due to a lack of sufficient income, budgeting, or a combination of the two.  Those experiences humbled Jackie and serve as a constant reminder of where she came from and keep her grounded and empathetic to those less fortunate.

    Verlancia Tucker - BOHEMA Cares

    It has been said to never judge a book by its cover. For Verlancia Tucker, this assessment is spot on. She is the founder of BOHEMIA Cares, a non-profit organization that offers self-love programs while spreading mental health awareness. The quality programs provide enrichment, mentorship, outreach, educational consulting, and social-emotional learning to individuals and families.      


    “BOHEMIA Cares is not just any nonprofit organization, we are a healing ministry. We allow individuals to share openly about self-love and mental illness in safe, nonjudgmental spaces. We allow God to shine through us so that others will know there is a living God and Savior. When people look and hear me, I want them to see and hear God,” she says.


    Verlancia grew up in the Delta (Lee County), Arkansas, and is the ninth daughter of ten children born to Jeff and Henrietta Tucker. She is also a mother, educator, mentor, advocate, personal development coach and survivor. Verlancia attended Lee High Schools in Marianna, Arkansas, and has earned a Master of Secondary Education degree and two Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration, with majors in Advertising-Public Relations and Marketing from UA-Little Rock. She is an Arkansas Educator licensed in Business Technology and endorsed in Career Orientation and English as a Second Language, and has worked as a classroom teacher for ten years with mentorship and teacher supervisor experience.  Furthermore, she currently serves as the Education Committee Chair for the Jacksonville Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

    Arteja Stamps - Mrs. Arkansas International 2022

     Beauty pageants…. As you read that, what came to mind? In our politically correct climate, most people dare not say. We can admit that for “pageant women,” beauty is a way of life.      


    Atlantic City hosted the first Miss. America pageant in 1921. Pageantry has changed in the 102 years since bathing suit beauties took that inaugural walk down the boardwalk of Atlantic City, but not by much.        Even all these years later, the image of beauty pageant contestants is burned in the minds of every little girl. Tall, thin, gorgeous, and, let’s be honest, most of the time white.        


    In March of 2022, Arkansas crowned Arteja Stamps as its first African American Mrs. Arkansas International. This tremendous honor is no small feat, but Arteja, who has only been competing in pageantry for two years, says she was determined to take the crown because “I believe I’ve been called to be an advocate for those whose voices need to be heard. So, I use my crown as an elevated microphone.”
