Speak
up for Justice --Should you, could you, will you?
No one has the right to invade your privacy. At least they shouldn't. Voyeurism should be illegal. Unfortunately, it isn't in some states. Jolene Jang was a victim of “upskirting” in Seattle in 2000, when a man video taped underneath her dress without her knowledge. At the time, the perpetrator was arrested for attempted theft, but authorities later discovered he had filmed up the skirts of victims ranging in age from preschool girls to adult women. Studies indicate rapists are often first voyeurs.
The sex offender was convicted of voyeurism. Shockingly, his appeal resulted in a unanimous “not guilty” verdict by the Washington State Supreme Court because Jang was in a public place. His upskirting history dated back to 1977. Even with hard evidence – the video tape, a witness, and the identified suspect, the law failed Jang and the other victims.
Infuriated by the injustice, Jang educated herself on how to change the law to help protect other potential victims. She used her entrepreneurial skills to single handedly launch a grassroots campaign to raise public awareness about privacy issues in public places.
Jang's quest in this landmark case attracted the producers of Oprah, Good Morning America , Today Show among many others. Her efforts ultimately resulted in the passage of Washington State Voyeurism Bill (ESHB 1001) in May 2003. Before her hard work to revise the law, six to eight states had laws prohibiting videotaping underneath people's clothing. The ripple effect inspired others to come forward to help pass state and federal voyeurism legislation that was signed by President Bush in December 2004. Australia and New Zealand followed by creating laws in 2006.
Currently, the majority of states
have laws protecting people's privacy , but there
is still progress to be made. From the time of the incident
in 2000, to the bill passage and even now, Jang continues
to educate people on voyeurism issues. She offers insight
into how to assess their situation, change perspectives,
and find the motivation to persist when faced with adversity
Target Audience: women's associations, people of color, entrepreneurs, college students, domestic violence organizations.
Format: motivational and empowering keynote

Eat, Drink,

We are walking billboards for our company whether you like it or not. Are you maximizing your exposure? As you enter the room, can people guess what you do? After a brief encounter will they remember you tomorrow, next year, next decade? Jolene answers, “yes.” If you answered “yes” to these questions, you are a marketing maven, if not we will save you a seat. Jolene will share with you how to build credibility and customer confidence by defining your company's uniqueness and milking it.
This session includes “hot seats.” A handful of volunteers will be selected to get feedback on their business cards and overall presence from Jolene and the audience. Does their image reflect their company's culture, mission and personality? We will run through processes to help build their brand, so at the end of the class, everyone will know how to rethink and get clarity for their brand.
People have changed their business cards after hearing Jolene's ideas. A few years ago, Jolene attended a conference and interacted with several attendees. After a few hours together Angela's life changed. One year later because of Jolene, Angela transformed into a bubbly, happy, confident, outgoing person. She changed her perspective on life in general and her business.
