Charnise Love, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
From an early age, my family instilled in me the belief that all things are possible with God’s help. I embraced this philosophy wholeheartedly and allowed it to guide me through life. With unwavering determination, I pursued my goals, trusting in my abilities and the vision I held in my heart. Despite not always having all the details mapped out, I pressed forward with confidence, driven by a sense of purpose.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
Hey Love Jones Crew,
I go by the name of Char Love Jones! I am a faith-based entertainment executive producer and the CEO of Love Jones Productions, my love child I founded in 2019. I’m the co-host of the unSAID Truth radio show that airs on SiriusXM Ch. 140, for a Christian radio station called Dafixx. While in college back in 2017, I began my journey as a multifaceted photographer, capturing various events while exploring my niche. Often, I’d finagle my way into concerts and celebrity gatherings, even sneaking into the Oakland Warriors parade after their 2017 Championship win, claiming affiliation with Love Jones Photography – gotta love those tactics, right?
Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?
My greatest area of growth has undoubtedly been in my spiritual life. For me, this journey has involved dedicating more time to God and learning to discern His voice. In the past, I was so fixated on molding myself into what I thought was necessary for advancement in my field that I neglected to listen to God’s guidance. I eagerly pursued opportunities, even if they didn’t align with my purpose, simply to be part of the spotlight. I lost sight of who I truly was, grappling with internal conflicts between worldly success and living a life dedicated to Christ. It was a constant struggle, torn between the desire for recognition and the call to walk in faith.
