Founder at The Purpose Academy

Jessica Huie MBE


Jessica Huie MBE is the author of PURPOSE, published by Hay House, and the founder of The Purpose Academy and The Annual Purpose Retreat, held in Jamaica. 

Jessica enjoyed an accomplished career as a publicist and has worked with some of the world’s biggest stars and business people, including Samuel L. Jackson, Simon Cowell, Kelly Rowland & Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.

Sixteen years ago, Jessica launched Color Blind Cards, a multi-award-winning multicultural greeting card company that drove an early conversation around the importance of ethnic representation in retail and became the first independent brand to secure a high-street presence for black cards. 

Following the publication of her book PURPOSE, Jessica co-created the Diverse Wisdom initiative with Hay House to bring more authors of color into the personal development publishing space. The initiative is now in its third successful year bringing black, Asian, mixed heritage, and indigenous authors’ stories and cultural wisdom onto bookshelves globally.
Labeled one of Britain’s Most Inspiring Entrepreneurs by the Evening Standard, in 2014, Jessica was honored with an MBE for entrepreneurship and her contribution to diversity.
