Prina Jackson
Media Director
Born in Durham, North Carolina, Prina Jackson is the youngest daughter of a preacher father and a stay at home mother. Her early ambition to become a professional singer was shaped by her experience of singing in church and although not supported by her family, she went on to join a local singing group where she developed her musical skills. By the time that she had completed High School, Prina was already opening for a number of multi-platinum recording artists. As an accomplished singer/songwriter and producer, she then went on to work on her own debut album.
Abruptly, her father was sent overseas as a part of Desert Storm. Its end lead to Prina spending some time living in Germany where she continued to sing and recorded her own music video. Two years on and Prina had moved back to the States to help form the R&B group 'RAIIN'.
Prina's career in the music business seemed set. She continued to share the stage with major recording artists, performed before Big Boi of OUTKAST, did a stint on national television, set up her own studio and continued to manage RAIIN. "I decided to manage RAIIN, because I wasn't willing to allow someone else to make decisions on my behalf without consulting me. I have to be OK with whatever I do." noted Prina.
15 years into her career, she was approached by up and coming R&B artist; Jaunte-Jacobs. A role as the manager of such a prestigious performer and artist was not something that Prina was going to pass up and she jumped at the opportunity. Having watched him blossom from RCA recordings in his early career through to owning his own record label (The Urban World Music Group) she felt that this was a dream chance to not only learn and develop herself, but also to further the career of someone that she greatly admired.
"No matter how hard my life, I always try and help anyone that feels that they can use my abilities and skills in one way or another. These things I live for." It was this dedication to helping others and not just within the confines of the music industry that eventually lead Prina to become a member of the IWW Starbucks Union and to join in the fight to help low paid barista's in their struggle to gain equal pay and fair treatment within the company. Humanity Healing was her next stop. "To me Humanity Healing is about love and peace. Love one another no matter what someone might do. Learn to be peaceful despite what we are all faced with each day. By doing this we can begin to heal humanity."
Prina has, in a very short period of time become an invaluable asset in the Humanity Healing team where she works tirelessly as our Media Director and Marketing Consultant.
