Who is Jasely Molina?
Jasely Molina is a multimedia journalist, brand strategist and copywriter.
And, that’s just the start.
As a visual and editorial storyteller, she has combined her professional background in traditional journalism, on/off-camera reporting and digital marketing with her natural curiosity, charisma and empathy to create impactful stories that accurately reflect and advocate for Black and Brown communities.
Jasely is dedicated to sparking difficult yet necessary conversations on race, culture and women’s health. Throughout her career, she’s been widely recognized for dissecting “hot button” topics including reproductive health, the under-diagnosis of ADHD in Black women, body policing in Latine households and Black Latina representation in pop culture.
As Seen On:
Her deep dives have been referenced by various respected publications, — including Vogue —numerous Medium posts and even student essays.
One of her favorite pieces “Black Women Can Be Diagnosed with ADHD, too” for The Cut caught the attention of New York Times bestselling author and boundaries therapist Nedra Tawwad.
Queen of Pivoting — Social Media + Copywriting
As the self-proclaimed queen of pivoting, Jasely has also demonstrated expertise in social media management and search engine optimization, previously working for Latine media outlet Remezcla, Rolling Stone as a freelance social media editor and Masterclass as a digital SEO editor.
Her ability to successfully write under tight deadlines and seamlessly adapt to a brand’s voice allowed her to expand her resume and clientele as a beauty copywriter — working with revered companies such as Youth To The People, Versed Skin, Rizos Curls and Black Girl Sunscreen.
Currently, she’s combined all her talents to help creators and companies develop an authentic brand identity and strategy. During 1:1 consultations, many of her clients said her enthusiasm, attention to detail and ability to break down complex terms in a relatable and digestible manner left them feeling “inspired,” “energized” and “ready to take the next step.”
What’s on Her Radar
When she’s not being a busy bee — just kidding, she’s always a busy bee — she can be found on LinkedIn sounding off on industry news, her takeaways as a Black Latina in the freelancing space and the importance of community and mentorship for young Black and Brown creatives.
“How do I pronounce your name?”
“My mom taught me not to change my name for those unwilling to learn it. “If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky, Dostoyevsky, & Michelangelo, they can learn to say Uzoamaka,” - Uzoamaka “Uzo” Aduba.
I totally get it. You’ve probably never come across a Jasely in this lifetime, but now we’re here!
Here’s how to flawlessly pronounce my name. I love it when I get on a call with someone new, and they get my name right on the first try. It makes my day.
So, let’s skip the awkward “I think I’m gonna mess this up” dialogue and dive right in.
