Jalima N. Cook is a speaker, author, entrepreneur, and founder of “Finding Me Ministries” - an outreach and empowerment network for women. Growing up in the city of Philadelphia, Jalima was raised in a single-parent home by her mother with three of her siblings; an older brother and 2 younger sisters. Statistically, the odds were against Jalima, but with God, hard work, dedication to her purpose, and her commitment to walk in the Will of God, Jalima has come through many obstacles!

After graduating from High School, Jalima enrolled in Millersville University, seeking her Bachelor’s in English and minor in African American Studies. After obtaining her Bachelor’s degree, her goal was to attend law school; however, God had another plan. At a young age, Jalima accepted Jesus Christ into her heart, but it was not until college that Jalima became completely dedicated to serving God. A few short months after her father's unexpected passing, Jalima heard the voice of God calling her to the preaching and teaching ministry.  To become better equipped in fulfilling this call, Jalima began the pursuit to earn her Master’s degree by enrolling in Eastern University’s Palmer Theological Seminary but later decided to transfer to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary of Liberty University to complete her degree. She completed her degree in 2012 - graduating with her Master’s of Divinity with a concentration in Professional Ministry. Jalima has served as a minister, a Small Group Pastor, Youth Pastor, and Associate Pastor. She and her husband have served in ministry together for over 15 years.

Outside of her ministerial roles, Jalima has a keen gift in administration and strategic building for businesses. She is known for her systematic processes to improve the functions and growth of businesses. You will often catch her teaching on the message of  MAKING THINGS HAPPEN and building vision, something she is very passionate about. She is the founding partner (alongside her husband) of 22Vision Consulting Group, a design agency dedicated to bringing vision to life! Together, they create visually stunning brand identities that resonate and captivate the audiences they work alongside.
