Derrick Jaxn Advice: Helpful… But Incomplete

You’ve probably heard or seen Derrick Jaxn—the videos calling out men, defending women, breaking down relationship drama. And let’s be honest: some of that advice hit home. We agree that:

• You deserve honesty and respect.
• Gaslighting is real.
• Standards matter.

Those messages helped a lot of women realize, “I’m not crazy, I’m just being mistreated.” But here’s the problem: commentary doesn’t equal strategy. You can know that some men are manipulative and still end up with them. You can repost quotes about self worth and still choose weed poison for your life because you don’t have a process for choosing differently. If you’re a serious Black professional—planning your career, your finances, your legacy—then partner selection has to be treated with the same level of strategy. So yes, listen to the parts of Derrick Jaxn’s advice that remind you of your value. Then go further. Inside the Relationship Readiness Masterclass, we help you understand why you’ve chosen the way you have. In the Matchmaking Readiness Audit, we give you honest feedback about whether your actions match your standards. And through the 1,000 Couples Challenge, we’re building actual couples whose love isn’t just a clip—it’s a stable, mission aligned partnership. Don’t just consume advice. Build a structure that makes choosing fertilizer—and rejecting poison—your new normal.
