Charreah Jackson on Finding Love, Embracing Support, Becoming Self Aware and Being a Boss

When having a conversation with Charreah K. Jackson — ESSENCE magazine Lifestyle & Relationships Editor and Creator of BossBride — you will be struck by her Southern charm as as much as you will be by her worldly self awareness. The Decatur, Georgia, native — who considers herself “a little bit bossy” and “with a big personality” — grew up surrounded by models of strong black women, with a great, great grandmother who had a rifle, knew how to shoot a straight shot and catch a squirrel with her bare hands. For Charreah, witnessing this strength normalized power and agency.

Today, as Charreah balances a demanding full-time magazine job with coaching clients, her Bossbride community, her personal life and writing her soon-to-be-published book, she realizes that with all that strength she has inherited, she also needs support, and softness, in many areas of her life — and that’s a good thing. As she says, we need to normalize support, and not see it as a weakness.

On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Charreah talks openly about how support and her evolving self awareness allowed her to overcome cancer, shift her relationship with money, walk away from what’s familiar and face her fears by standing up and catching the wave.
