Testimonials
We were so fortunate to have Jamila come to the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center at DePaul and share her entrepreneurial journey and expertise with our Social Impact Incubator cohort. Jamila radiates positivity and a genuine enthusiasm and passion for what she does. She was able to deeply engage the participants in meaningful conversation and allow them the space to reflect on their own experiences. Jamila is a community builder and an incredibly powerful speaker that left a big impression on our entire group. Thank you, Jamila!

The Tech Unicorn recently presented "Finding Your Wining Keycodes" to the BOLD ERG at Pearson. I was blown away by the insights and inspiration Jamila Parham provided. Her focus on balance, purpose, passion, and priorities was truly refreshing, and it helped our participants re-evaluate life and goals.
Her message was clear and concise, and provided practical tips and advice that anyone could apply to their own lives. I left the presentation feeling motivated and energized, with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.
I highly recommend Jamila Parham aka The Tech Unicorn to anyone who is looking to find more balance and meaning in their lives.

Jamila is brilliant! I had the pleasure of working with her intimately through The BOSS Network. She has the ability to captivate an audience through storytelling and her thought leadership has helped many women find their purpose. Throughout the weekend, I heard so many women talk about some of the strategies and tools that Jamila suggested in the panel discussion. I’m so excited to see what they do with the information to propel their career. I recommend her for any speaking or training opportunity.

Jamila's workshop was uplifting, inspiring, and it really hit home! All participants (college-aged students, and staff) were extremely engaged with Jamila's tips on creating spaces for ourselves in environments that don't always foster our success, and being proud of our #UnicornMagic and accomplishments (i.e., we must brag about ourselves more!). Importantly, we must also advocate and empower others to reach their full potential. Jamila is personable and a wonderful guest speaker. We're so grateful for Jamila and look forward to inviting her to Scottsdale Community College again! Thanks, Jamila!

Thank You! Your inspiring Key Note session at this weekend's STEM-focused event hosted by the Barrington Council for the Gifted and Talented NFP. Co-sponsored by Microsoft the BCGT event was designed to inspire middle and high school students to consider Computer Science as a field of study through a guided experience of coding via the Microsoft Minecraft for Education Hour of Code 2021 Timecraft curriculum. I was inspired by your story and presentation!

Our school has been a fan of Jamila for years and when we finally got the opportunity to book her for one of our events we were ecstatic. Jamila brings real-life experiences, the ability to connect with youth and adults, and the inspiration needed to motivate students and adults to be the best version of themselves. Jamila was a dynamic speaker at our event and we look forward to staying connected with her.

Ms. Jamila Parham has been an invaluable addition to the University of Chicago’s Technology and Entrepreneurship panels targeted toward undergraduate women. She provides a unique perspective on the intersection of technology and entrepreneurship, and we are looking forward to inviting her back for future events.

Ms. Parham is such a dynamic, engaging speaker that we felt very lucky to have her as a keynote speaker for our annual Barrett Women’s League "Diversity in STEM" event. She has an amazing ability to connect with her audience, I would recommend her to any organization!”
