Jacque Cochran is a 51 year old Black woman who has had a life resurgence. Through a series of events and health challenges she was forced to make some serious changes in order to live.

In 2011, after making the necessary changes, she lost about 160 pounds. This was an amazing gift she gave herself and it’s the catalyst that jump started her what she affectionately refers to her third act. Since that time she has had many new experiences and is an inspiration to others in her age group.

This gift made it possible for her to believe she can dream dreams but more importantly that she can make her dreams come true.

In 2014, she began working on her degree in journalism and is currently the News Editor for Talon Marks, Cerritos College online publication.

Jacque Cochran inquisitively looking into her future

She has completed the requirements for an AA and will begin working on her bachelors degree at California State University Long Beach in the fall of this year.

Before the pandemic, she started traveling to places that she had never been before inside the country as well as outside. As a single person, she has also begun embracing traveling alone.

For this blog, she hopes to connect with people who are like her, people who are tired of allowing fear dictate her actions; people who are afraid to try that thing they have always wanted to because they don’t believe in their ability or because they just don’t know they can; or because they are fearful of failure.

She has come to the realization that there is a huge world out there and she doesn’t want to regret not experiencing all that it has to offer. Come join her on her journey to make her dreams and hearts desires come true.
