WELCOME TO THE FIRST EVER JHFS PLATFORM!
First of all, that homepage message is the TRUTH, I am so happy you’re here! Emotional in fact! Hi! Welcome!
I am Jamie Hawk (she/her) of Jamie Hawk’s Flight Society LLC (JHFS) and this brand is a vital outlet for the million ideas I have every day to honor and pour into women!
It’s a collection of what I think of as I fall asleep, quotes I’ve heard from past mentors, music that moves me to be great, and most of all— a belief in YOU.
I want all women to get what they want in life and at work—and I want to spark honest conversation and understanding about the experiences of all women.
By women, I mean:
Underpaid/under-appreciated groups (ahem, all women!)
Women of color dealing with barriers most of the world is completely unaware of
Members of the LGBTQIA+ community
First generation college students
People with incarcerated parents
Moms (employed, entrepreneurs, family-devoted)
Single working women carrying the weight of the world’s (ridiculous) issues
And on and on!
I am the chief content creator and representative of this venture — and I want to be the bringer of the quotes, explanations, connections, understanding, and motivation you can’t live without!
There is so much awkwardness in life, in work, in Gen Z/millennial communication, in IRL vs. virtual communication, and more—- and I want to talk about it! I also want to be the bridge that helps you appreciate the women who have come before you. Women from other generations or even decades with the same ambition and mission are glorious treasures of insight we can all learn from.
I am almost 40 and I am elated to tell you the million ways I’ve embarrassed myself, learned how to protect myself from embarrassment, found sanctuary in similarly authentic people at work, discovered my value, identified ridiculous managers, trusted mentors who really cared about me, and most of all, gambled on the promises my mom gave me from a young age (that I could accomplish anything I put my mind to, and that I deserved to be happy).
I should also probably mention that I am a master saleswoman who has worked for iconic brands from Sports Illustrated to Real Simple to Entertainment Weekly to Her Campus Media— so I am all about helping you market yourself and your unique, awesome qualities! Let’s get started!
WHAT IS JHFS?
This brand is a content and conversations platform designed to help me share my support of women AT SCALE!
The reason this brand is referred to as a ‘Society’ is because at its core, JHFS is a shared knowledge and understanding among likeminded individuals. I am not here for the uninspired. The ‘Society’ is everyone I’ve met in the past and have yet to meet who demonstrates undeniably special qualities: interest, tenacity, enthusiasm, humility, nerve, and vision.
Everyone I’ve ever given career advice to is someone who now gives advice to others.
I have been told my entire career—- or actually life(?) that I am the ultimate hype woman. I love this description but what I say in response is that I am a REPORTER, not a SUPPORTER. I don’t give compliments to anyone who I don’t see STARS around.
I am here for the driven— who often happen to also be the confused, the overwhelmed, the taken advantage of, the broke, the ill-advised, etc.
The Society is composed of people who are stubborn about having inspired lives, soulful about their pursuit, and eager to extend a hand back to others the second their goal is reached.
I can’t reasonably sit with every inspired person on earth, so I am putting my heart out here for everyone. 🪩
WHY A LIGHTNING BOLT??
Jamie Hawk’s Flight Society LLC is a content platform and a network powered by a few core belief systems.
I believe that work and life are intertwined, and both deserve to be happy and fun!
While my brand is all about ‘flight’ and ‘taking off’ (as a nod to the awesome last name I married into—HAWK!), the logo does not feature a bird or a wing.
My icon is a lightning bolt because I believe that an inspired, devoted person can ‘soar’ in *any* weather (yep, even in metaphorical thunder and lightning!).
I also love the lightning bolt because it indicates boldness, and the ability to stand out/grab attention.
I am silly, excited, and fully convinced that grabbing people’s attention is half the battle of getting internships, jobs, and more! A lightning bolt is the perfect icon for how I operate!
