In 2020, Jacquelyn Vasquez, also known as Coach Jaqui, had a realization that changed everything. Before then, she thought she loved her job, but when the world shut down, she saw that it wasn’t the work she loved—it was the people. The connections, the shared dreams, and the daily camaraderie were what kept her going. When that was taken away, the job itself became unbearable. She found herself in tears multiple times a week, knowing deep down she was meant for more. That was the moment she decided to stop settling and take control of her life.

Turning Pain into Purpose
Her journey of self-discovery didn’t just transform her—it saved her. She learned what it meant to truly love herself beyond surface-level confidence. Through manifestation, she aligned her energy, thoughts, and emotions with the life she wanted to create. This awakening led her to a new mission: helping other women see that they, too, were meant for more.
Overcoming the Challenges of Entrepreneurship
Like many first-time entrepreneurs, Vasquez made her fair share of mistakes. She invested in countless courses, programs, and business tools, believing they held the key to her success. At one point, she realized she didn’t even have access to half of the resources she had paid for. The realization that she had spent the equivalent of a down payment on a house without clear direction hit her hard.
But instead of dwelling on the missteps, she embraced the lesson: success isn’t found in external programs—it’s built from within. She learned that patience, self-trust, and alignment were the true keys to creating a thriving business. Today, she helps other women avoid those same pitfalls by teaching them how to manifest intentionally and build from a place of clarity and purpose.
A Unique Approach to Leadership and Business Growth
Vasquez’s background in psychology and certifications in NLP, EFT, and hypnosis give her a unique edge in leadership and business development. These tools allow her to guide women through breaking limiting beliefs and aligning their energy with their goals. She doesn’t just teach strategy—she helps women reprogram their subconscious minds for success. Her ability to blend mindset work with business strategy makes her approach truly transformative.

Breaking Barriers as a Black Woman in Business
As a Black woman, Vasquez understands the generational challenges that have kept many from stepping into financial freedom. Her work is about more than just building businesses—it’s about rewriting the narrative of Black women’s success. She encourages Black women to embrace their power, claim their space, and create the lives they deserve without feeling the need to prove their worth to anyone.
“We are powerful beyond our wildest dreams,” Vasquez says. “When we embrace that power, we create a reality that is abundant, impactful, and life-changing.”
Manifesting the Future
Over the next five years, Vasquez envisions her brand reaching new heights. She sees her Manifest That Sht course transforming thousands of lives, her live events consistently selling out, and her work expanding to include one-day manifestation retreats specifically for Black women. She is dedicated to helping more women align with their purpose, create thriving businesses, and manifest the futures they desire.
A Message to Aspiring Black Women Entrepreneurs
To young Black women pursuing entrepreneurship, Vasquez shares this advice:
“You are a gift to this world. You were brought here with a unique purpose, and when you tap into what makes you special, you’ll discover exactly where you belong. You don’t have to choose just one gift—embrace all of who you are. Eventually, everything will come together in a way you never expected. Believe in yourself first, and everything else will follow.”
