Jamela Dewberry is a Chicago Native, living in the city and in the South Suburbs most of her life. The oldest of three children, Jamela learned at an early age how to take charge and be responsible. As a young child she loved to play sports, dance, draw, and do arts and crafts. This inner drive she had and creativity led to her playing sports, praise dancing for church, and creating personal works of art.

Because she learned early how to be responsible and use her talents in various ways, Jamela has loved working with youth and people. She has had several managerial positions in the Restaurant/Food chain industry, she has worked as a receptionist and data entry clerk and various Universities and has had an opportunity to work as a teaching assistant with small children. She also at times has been known to juggle two or more jobs while attending school. She credits her mother for her strong work ethic and God for her gifts.

When not working or going to Cosmetology school, Jamela enjoys spending time on the computer and playing with her puppy Brandee.
