Ms. Jenk­ins is also the “Head Bean Counter” for the new on-line train­ing site, Cool Beans Uni­ver­sity which is de­signed specif­i­cally for the busy pro­fes­sional.

Known as The Mas­ter Com­mu­ni­ca­tor, is pro­fi­cient in com­mu­ni­cat­ing in sev­eral forms of me­dia:  ra­dio, news­pa­pers, mag­a­zines, and the spo­ken word. She is the Con­sult­ing Ed­i­tor for d-mars.​com’s Busi­ness, Faith-Based, and Health and Well­ness Jour­nals and she hosts a Blog Talk Ra­dio Pro­gram called The Lit­er­ary Show­case where she has in­ter­viewed over 50 au­thors, af­ford­ing them the op­por­tu­nity to get their mes­sage to the masses.

As a free­lance writer she has writ­ten for sev­eral lo­cal and na­tional pub­li­ca­tions such as Ya­hoo Shine, Diva Tool­box, Beauty Come Forth Mag­a­zine, and crafted Small Busi­ness To­day’s lead ar­ti­cle for their pre­mier is­sue with Farouk Shamir.

Jenk­ins is also the brain­child be­hind sev­eral au­thor’s work­shops. Her pre­vail­ing mis­sion is to equip au­thors to live their lit­er­ary dreams with­out emp­ty­ing their bank ac­counts. She started this un­der­tak­ing four years ago with the De­sire to In­spire Work­shops, which pro­gressed to the 2010 and 2011 Au­thors Net­work­ing Sum­mit which were hosted in Hous­ton and De­troit.

G. Bell. As an ed­u­ca­tor she of­ten refers to her­self as a “teacher of teach­ers” be­cause of her abil­ity to ef­fec­tively com­mu­ni­cate and adapt to a wide va­ri­ety of au­di­ences such as busi­nesses, so­cial or­ga­ni­za­tions, churches, and schools as well as at pro­fes­sional con­fer­ences. Some of Jenk­ins’ keynote top­ics in­clude: “Tran­si­tions: How to Take Your Dreams Out of Neu­tral,” “Dis­cov­er­ing the Beauty in You!” and “Get the Hook-Up: Es­tab­lish­ing a Com­mu­nity Pres­ence.” She co-pro­duced the his­tor­i­cal doc­u­men­tary with Pos­i­tive Im­age Pro­duc­tions, “Do You Re­mem­ber?
