EP 11: Completely Done with the Boys Club with Jennifer Justice
I get SO jazzed when I get to speak with women who are much further along in their career than I am.
There is incredible wisdom to gain from women who have climbed their way up the success mountain in a super competitive industry and, once they got there, took a look around and said: Nah! I’m good!
My guest today did exactly that.
Jennifer Justice built a career and a solid reputation for negotiating deals for the best of the best.
She helped Jay-Z build Roc Nation.
She was Beyonce’s personal attorney for a time (!!!)
She represented men and women in the music industry, executives, talent, corporate partnerships… you name it. This woman knows how to make deals, but she was sick of making deals for men and watching women make deals—for less.
It happened again and again.
So? Jennifer set out to do something different.
She decided she wasn't going to support men anymore and only represent women in her new firm, The Justice Department. Now, women from ALL over the entertainment industry are flocking to her to get what they deserve.
