WORK WITH JAMILIA

In 2008, I was sentenced to 12 1/2 years for bank fraud, while my co-conspirators and masterminds, affiliated executives of the now-defunct banking empire Lehman Brothers, received just two years.

From behind bars, I embarked on an intense inner healing and restoration journey, and have been on a mission to shift people’s mindsets from believing that the path they are currently on is the only path for them to understanding that they can have an abundance of opportunities if they make smart choices.

While incarcerated, I received an Associate Degree in Psychology, a Bachelor’s degree in Christian Education, and a Master’s degree in African American Ministry. Since my release, I have earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy with a specialization in Christian Life Coaching from the Newburgh Theological Seminary & College of the Bible.

I am now Dr. Jamila T. Davis, and I use my real-life experience and story of redemption to create a platform to empower others.

The Power of the Written Word

While I was incarcerated, I discovered my gift for writing and self-published 12 books. These powerful works delve into my personal journey, offering unique insights into resilience, personal growth, and overcoming challenges.

The High Price
I Had To Pay



In my captivating real-life story, "The High Price I Had To Pay," I expose the untold truth behind the inside fraud committed by Lehman executives during the 2008 Financial Crisis. This gripping account unveils the hidden schemes and manipulation that occurred, revealing the injustices faced by those wrongly blamed for the fraudulent activities.

As the media focused on the imprisonments of alleged "small fries," I reveal the cunning tactics used by savvy Ivy League bank executives to escape punishment and further their own profits. "The High Price I Had To Pay" sheds light on a different perspective of the Lehman Brothers saga that demands to be heard.

Built to Outlast
the Storm



My book, Built to Outlast the Storm," has become the cornerstone for healing, trauma recovery, and social and emotional learning platforms. It shares my personal journey of triumph over adversity and provides a transformative 12-step plan for readers facing life setbacks.

These real-world tested strategies help shift mindsets, embrace divine purpose in obstacles, and turn them into stepping stones for success. Drawing from my own remarkable experiences, including achieving millionaire status and enduring a 12-year federal prison sentence, I offer a roadmap to survival and personal growth. It's a powerful guide that transforms setbacks into major comebacks.

Voices of
Consequences



During my time in prison, I developed a self-help curriculum called The Voices of Consequences Enrichment Series  to empower incarcerated women to heal, recognize their potential, and pursue their dreams. This curriculum has been widely adopted by prison systems across the United States, including the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, reaching women in facilities nationwide.

The series provides a transformative framework for personal growth and development, helping incarcerated women find hope, build resilience, and create positive change in their lives. It is an honor to see the impact and reach of this curriculum in empowering women on their journey toward healing.
