Today we’d like to introduce you to Jennifer Zoga.
Hi Jennifer, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I came to this world on November 11, 1986, not by chance, not by accident. I don’t know the reason for my conception. What I do know is that I was born with a light so bright just like every baby and I was assigned a talent by God. I assume I may have been the product of true love because I was born with so much love to give. That is my one top skill and God-given gift, to love so hard on women. The journey to making it this far was not easy, I was molested as a child from the age of 6 until 9. Then my family moved from Honduras to Philadelphia PA, where I was bullied from age 9 until 14 years old. High School was a break from life but then I went to college. On November 1, 2005, my freshmen year in college one dark evening during a cold winter, I was crying uncontrollably on my bed in my dorm room in the dark. My first love whom I had dated for two years had broken up with me. I didn’t have a strong level of self-love. I was in an abusive relationship with that young man for 2 years. I felt like he was the best thing I could have and I felt like my life depended on his affection and his words for me. I felt so worthless and so ugly, I convinced myself that he was my only ride to being happy. The night of November 1, 2005, this “love of mine” told me the following “It’s over, don’t call me, don’t look for me. Do me a favor and disappear. You are worthless, a piece of trash, you are nothing, no one will ever want you, no one will ever need you, you ain’t shit and never will be more than that”. Those words pierce my heart and created a wound so deep that it triggers my mind and poisons my ability to think. I cried so intensely and my response was to dim my light. So, I got off my bed walked over to my wooden desk, and sat down. I then proceeded to slide my desk drawer open, I slowly pulled out my migraine pills. I continued to cry; the pain was unbearable so I decided it was best to remove myself from this world. So, I twisted the cap off the bottle and began to spread the pills over my desk. Then I proceeded to do what became the tipping point in my life. I began to swallow one pill at a time. I was racing with time to swallow as many as I could. I continue to cry but, in that moment, I couldn’t feel anything. My body was numb, my face felt stiff, and my jaw felt locked. When there were about 10 pills left in the bottle, my bedroom door swung open. I was in shocked, my roommate caught me in the act. When she yelled “What the hell are you doing, I felt my body become weak and dropped to the floor. She ran and gripped me by my shirt and pulled me out into the hallway. I felt all my weight against the cold floor. I heard her screaming down a tunnel, everything was blurry. Then it became silent. I transitioned into a dark room, where I couldn’t see myself, it was dark pitch. I thought to myself “I think I’m dead”. Time stopped. I felt like I was in darkness for a long period of time. However, there was a quick transition from darkness to a journey in space, then there was a bright light. That light was the hospital bedroom light above my bed. I was alive! I woke up to a bright light in my face. It was so bright I could barely see. When I gained my vision, I looked around. There stood a group of familiar faces all surrounding my bed, crying for me, my friends, lesbians, brown girls, white girls, tall, short, fat, skinny from all walks of life. They began to pour their love in unison. I felt their powerful words of love with zero judgment. It was my Rosemont College classmates, and they became my sisters instantaneous.
In that very moment, I was full of gratitude. God had given me a second chance to live. I understood that I was here for a purpose greater than me.
And then I thought to myself ” how the fuck did I allow one voice to have that much power over me. 7.7 billion voices in the world and I allowed this one idiot “my love” to get into my head.”
I felt like a freaken idiot myself. God had gifted me so many friendships, and a great family, what a fool not to see that. But it’s ok because this second chance at life I promised to live it to my fullest. I felt powerful knowing I had a purpose. I didn’t know what it was then but with time I finally am walking in my purpose.
By the way, when I finally left the hospital a week later and return to my dorm room, I got yelled by the same group of women. They weren’t going to let me off the hook that easily. And they did the unexpected. They rushed in my dorm room and pulled me by the arm to step in front of this old ass mirror glued to white brick wall. And said ” Meet yourself, hey my name is Jennifer Daniela. What a beautiful sight to see” and that was the beginning of myself love journey.
What I learned was that it was important to surrounded myself with an amazing loving tribe. 2. I learned that there are 7.7 billion voices in the world and I had the power to handpick which voice to touch my soul. 3. I learned to connect with God, Jehovah, and have the uncomfortable conversation with him.4. that we are born into this world with a great purpose.
As a result, I now guide women to look in the mirror and meet their beautiful self. I was meant to go through that, it’s the only way I learned how to love myself. So now I teach women to love every flaw of their body, to acknowledge their strength, and celebrate how far they have come. I teach lessons from my self-love journey and I looooove it. I host Group life Coaching segments every Thursday via Queen Warrior Tv and am the founder of “Dream builders” where I host private one-on-one Life coaching segments. I work about 60 hours plus preparing, reading, writing, engaging on IG, hosting, and coaching. It’s my passion, I want women to know that they are capable of living in their purpose and live their best life.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I know we are always told someone out there has it hard but the reality is that we all experience our HARD times. For me was being molested at a child, then being bullied for my language, my accent, and feeling like an outcast. As an immigrant I felt like an outcast for not listening to the same music, watching the same shows, or knowing the dances. One of my biggest challenges has been fighting depression. I can proudly say that I have conquered!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
After going through everything, I learned to apply my wisdom from being molested and verbally abused by my peers in school. I am the founder of Dream builders and also obtain a major contract with Queen Warrior Tv hosting Group Life coaching women. I have my life experience to extract my lessons from but I also have proper training. I obtained my Master of Science in Counseling Education with over 700 hours of supervised training experience. I am known for loving on women and learning to see their superpowers. It is being reminded of that helps women feel confident. What sets me apart is going above and beyond from my clients. I pour so much love into these women. It is the most rewarding experience. Being Genuine and Authentic on social media. What set me apart is the fact that I am willing to teach other women who want to be life coaching what I do and how.
Any big plans?
I have huge plans! I’m looking forward to speaking with my grandma. I would love to work on more self-love projects in the communities. I would also love to open a nonprofit organization to impact youth. We need more Love in this world. It is my duty.
