We had the good fortune of connecting with Erodia Pierre-Paul and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erodia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?

The thought process behind J’adore Blessings was God and the love of giving and serving. Spreading love, kindness, and showering others with blessings has been such a rewarding task. God has planted a seed of love and light in me, and I am so grateful that I get to share that through J’adore Blessings every time the opportunity presents itself. Being a blessing by way of giving, serving, loving, and caring for others brings a satisfaction that is truly indescribable.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
J’adore Blessings is a 501c3 non-profit organization built on the foundation of showering individuals with love, blessings by way of giving and serving. We get to showcase Gods love and desire to bless us; hence J’adore Blessings. We are set apart because our desire is to help all individuals in need at whatever level it may be; from purchasing groceries for families in need, paying utility bills, feeding and clothing homeless individuals, clothing battered women, and back to school giveaways just to name a few. I don’t want J’adore Blessings to be limited so my team and I are big on seeking opportunities to lend a hand whenever possible. We also enjoy collaborating with other organizations that share our same vision and passion. I have learned the importance of communication, how to be a great leader, and overall that nothing great happens overnight neither does it come easy. I’ve come to understand that no matter what it looks like God that started this great work in J’adore Blessings will continue working to perfect it into something absolutely phenomenal. J’adore Blessings is the result of walking in purpose and obedience.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

This is such a hard question for me and is going to definitely make me sound boring. I don’t go out often so my friend would be involved in watching sunrises/sunsets at the beach with prayer and devotional daily, ice cream dates and church. Perhaps brunch, lunch, and dinner at every vegan restaurant I could find. Really and truly I’d be the wrong person to give anyone a “best time ever” experience lol.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, shoutout to God because without Him none of this would be possible. Secondly shoutout to my amazing team Kerby, Stephanie, Adrianne, and Margie; I truly believe God handpicked these individuals to go on this journey with me. We all posess a heart of giving and serving which I am forever grateful for. So, thank you God and thank you team xoxo!
