Biography
Krystal Jugarap is the Founder of BOOKofBIJOUX and EM/POWEREDbyWMN. She is an international award-winning speaker, writer, podcast host, philanthropist, your favorite small business hypewoman, and momma to 2 little girls and a baby boy.
Through the EM/POWEREDbyWMN platform, she has cultivated a community that continues to uplift women in entrepreneurship through vendor fairs, networking events, annual summits, the EM/POWEREDbyWMN podcast, their online Woman Owned Small Business Directory which now highlights more than 100 woman-owned brands, and so much more. Their community is all about creating spaces for visibility, connection, and shared resources and Krystal’s mission is really to remind women and future generations that they are not only capable but so worthy of creating lives and businesses they love.
Passion
Given the work that I do, I have an ever-growing passion for supporting other women in business and truly being their cheerleader, business coach, and unofficial PR person (I love saying their names in rooms full of opportunity). Through building the EM/POWEREDbyWMN platform, I've seen so many women hesitant to step into their full power and authenticity, and it has become my mission to break down those barriers that enable their limiting beliefs.
Best Story
One day my partner had asked me, "What is that magazine you ordered?" In complete nonchalance, I responded, "We're featured in it". That moment gave me pause. "This is my new normal," I thought. We truly hold the power within us to craft what our "normal" looks like. We don't have to wait for opportunity to come knocking when we choose to be the ones to knock. In the span of a year, I proclaimed my desire to pursue speaking professionally and then was invited to speak at multiple conferences, virtual summits, masterminds, and podcasts. It no longer feels like a feat, but instead, an average occurrence. We have the choice every single day to take small steps towards our new normal.
Origin Story
EM/POWEREDbyWMN began because I was looking for a community of ambitious women to bring into my own network, one that at the time completely lacked that entrepreneurial zest. However, our first event of 20 women vendors and 4 women speakers that I also got to bring my two young daughters to really triggered the trajectory of what is now a thriving ecosystem of events, workshops, genuine support, innovation, education, and visibility for our fellow women in business. This platform has taught me the power of authenticity, integrity, empathy, resilience, communication, boundaries, and most importantly, the true power we all hold within ourselves - a power that has become my mission to unearth for those around me.
Example talks

Let your desire and discipline outweigh your excuses and let Krystal show you how.
