Ready to Greenlight Your Dream?

Hey, It’s Jerrica!

Welcome to Greenlight Yourself with Jerrica Long — a weekly newsletter for storytellers and content creators ready to bet on themselves.

You might be wondering, "What happened to the Laugh Strategy?" Well, it didn’t quite take off because the real vision has always been about building your thing — your audience, your brand, your career.

Here’s what I want for us:

• Build a community that craves your content, like the audience Tyler Perry has built, always showing up for his work and his brand.

• Create and share work we love, just like Issa Rae did with Insecure.

• Build wealth, careers, and side hustles on our own terms.

• Follow our dreams, not anyone else’s timeline.

I’ve seen Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated creatives have their dreams shattered when an exec said "no." But what if we didn’t wait for a greenlight? What if we greenlit ourselves?

That’s why we’re here — to do it our way. I’m in this with you, greenlighting my own work and growing together.

If you’re in, hit reply and let me know why you’re here and what you’d like to see in future issues. And if this landed in your spam or promotions, move it to your ‘Primary’ inbox so we can keep this going weekly.

Thanks for being here. I’m excited for what’s to come! See you next week.

Ready,
Jerrica
