Today we’d like to introduce you to Jewel Lewis.
Jewel, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I was destined to be an entrepreneur and do whatever it takes to be successful in this world. After graduating high school at Lamar in Houston, Texas, I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to attend Spelman College. After four years, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in arts in Economics on May 15, 2022. I was sure I wanted to get my real estate license, even though I was still in search of a post-graduate full-time job. Real estate became an interest of mine very shortly after starting my matriculation at Spelman College. Once I had graduated and did not have any job opportunities lined up just yet, I felt as though it was perfect timing to go to real estate school. After just two short months, beginning in September 2022, I finished my required classes. I took my real estate exam right after the new year, and unfortunately, I failed my state portion by one point the first time and passed the national portion easily. I felt so distraught, but I did not let that stop me because I scheduled to retake my exam the following week and was a License Texas sales agent by January 3, 2023. Thank you, God 🙂 I am currently attending Louisiana State University Shreveport to obtain my Master’s in Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise. I also was blessed with a full-time opportunity to become a consulting analyst for a Fortune 500 company with benefits and a sign-on bonus. Honestly, after graduating, I was terrified about what direction my life will go in because of the unknowingness of it all, but you have to stay faithful, consistent, and determined on your goals. Trust me, everything will work out!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Anything valuable will never come easy. Of course, my journey up until now has not been a smooth road in its entirety. Not only do my gender and black skin not fit the mythical norm of someone that is supposed to succeed as much as I have in this society we live in, but I am also a first-generation college graduate. Those things on paper might seem as though all odds were stacked against me because they were and still are. Although I am blessed to have the support system I have with my parents and siblings in my corner, I did not have an experienced person to guide me through every venture I wanted to pursue in life. I take all of these items into account when making decisions about my next goals. I allow it to fuel me so that I can continue to push and prove to myself that I am capable of doing whatever it is I put my mind to instead of letting it define me and listening to the naysayers. Overall, I simply have faith and trust in God to lead my steps.

My name is Jewel Lewis. I am a 23-year-old, newly licensed Texas Real Estate Agent, catering mostly to Houston as well as the surrounding community. Being that Houston is my hometown, I take my career in real estate very seriously because this business is essentially about finding the perfect houses, apartments, lofts, etc., and hoping your client could picture it as a place that they want to call home.

It comes naturally to me to present myself in this manner, seeing that they are entrusting me to potentially guide them through the process of making one of the biggest purchases they will ever make in their lifetime, in most of my client’s cases. I am happily available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for any questions and/or inquiries regarding all things real estate.
