Passionate about positive change and using social media for good!
I started a Youtube channel on February 17th 2017. After a year of saving for a camera, four months of learning to edit videos and thumbnails, and many nervous moments of questioning, I began.
Everyone seemed to tell me, 'Youtube is too saturated. It's impossible for anyone to be successful anymore'. But thankfully, I didn’t really want to be a famous YouTuber haha. I was unfazed.
I never expected what was to come of it. I started a channel knowing that I didn't really like what the term 'YouTuber' conjured in my head. I just wanted to help, motivate and inspire other young people to be the best version of themselves. I am so grateful for where it has taken me.
It was April 2017 when I was 'noticed'. One video reached 200k views. My subscribers doubled, tripled, quadrupled. Thousands in days.
This ever-growing community has somehow formed. I am constantly inspired by the talent in my viewership and YouTuber community.
At the end of the day, I’m Just Jade.
I finished my A Levels in Maths, Biology and Chemistry Summer 2018, before embarking on a gap year before university. I solo-interrailed Europe, moved to London on my own for 6 weeks, backpacked Australia for 8 weeks, did a French language immersion in France and spent 3 months in rural Uganda. Earlier this year, I also began co-hosting a podcast, “The Wooden Spoon”. I’ve not regretted this mindful gap once.
I am now attending a new university revolutionising higher education. It’s called Minerva. I spent last year in San Francisco and will be moving with my cohort to Seoul in September.
People often ask what I want to do in the future. Ha, I wish I knew. I think as long as I’m having a positive effect on the world, I’ll be happy. We have purpose on this planet. I’m still exploring mine.
I appreciate you. Thank you for being here!
