Jahmeelah “Jam” Gamble didn’t start her career planning to become a public speaking coach—she simply embraced her natural gift of connecting with audiences.
From being told to talk less as a child to navigating professional environments that didn’t support her voice, Jam’s journey has always revolved around reclaiming her power to speak freely.
In 2014, Jam applied to be a TEDx speaker, but organizers saw her potential as the event’s host instead. Hosting TEDx introduced her to a public speaking coach for the first time—a profession she had no idea existed. For someone who had always been confident speaking, it was a revelation to learn that many people feared it.
The TEDx role required her to memorize scripted introductions, but Jam felt her strength lay in improvisation. She convinced the coach to let her go off-script, bending the TEDx model, and by the end of the event, the coach handed Jam her card with an unforgettable message:
“This isn’t for you—it’s for someone who needs it.”
It was the first time Jam truly felt validated in her ability to own a room with her voice.
Over the next 2 years,
Jam continued hosting events, growing her confidence and refining her style. Yet, people kept asking her, “How do you make it look so easy?”
In 2016, she impulsively announced on Instagram that she could teach people how to use their voice with confidence.
What started as a spontaneous offer became the foundation for Slay The Mic®.
Slay The Mic® wasn’t born out of formal training but out of Jam’s lived experiences — years of navigating environments that conditioned her voice, overcoming vocal roadblocks, and learning to trust herself completely.
The initiative began as a one-woman coaching program but soon evolved into a global movement.
By 2020, Jam had taken Slay The Mic® international, teaching people from diverse industries and backgrounds to discover the power of their voice.
