Hi Charnise Love, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Embarking on what initially seemed like a straightforward endeavor, the creation of Love Jones Productions turned out to be a profound journey of self-discovery and unwavering determination. The genesis of this venture was rooted in an intrinsic knowing that I couldn’t ignore—an indescribable pull compelling me to bring forth something meaningful. Guided by an innate sense of purpose, I heeded Gods calling that resonates deep within me, and thus began my path as an entrepreneur.
“As one steps into the realm of entrepreneurship, there’s an inherent innocence that accompanies the journey—a naivety that belies the true extent of the sacrifices and investments required to breathe life into a dream”.

The road was far from smooth as I navigated the industry landscape. Navigating gig-to-gig, mentorless yet I pushed through, I carved a path toward my aspirations. Thirst for knowledge drove me to understand the industry’s evolving trends. I meticulously researched show directors, AD’s, etc. That I intentionally cultivated connections that would propelled me forward.
“I want people to know a heartbeat rooted in faith, Love Jones Productions epitomizes a brand for the people, founded by someone like them. Central to LJP, our ethos belief is that every voice and story matters, and our conviction to do what is right is driven by our unwavering connection to Jesus Christ that leads us”.

My success would be nothing without God first and also the unwavering pillars of my cherished family, friends and mentors—the Joneses, Richardsons, Effiongs—alongside my beloved New Hope Ministries family, have poured into my life with an abundance that defies quantification. During moments of wavering faith and persistent self-doubt about the feasibility of this path, they gathered around me in loving support, that gave me a reminder that God’s faithfulness remains steadfast, and His promises endure without fail. The amalgamation of their encouragement they’ve shown me has served as a rock for me.
“I am humbled by my village, a constellation of support that propels me forward. The boundless love and relentless backing they shower upon me serves as both an anchor and propelling force, compelling me to strive for excellence. My tribe’s unwavering belief in me fuels my ambition to ultimately reciprocate the generosity they’ve shown me”.
