Meet Jakita Smith.

Author. Speaker. Servant leader.

Jakita Smith writes and speaks for the leaders who feel unseen — the ones quietly carrying the weight of others, the ones whose hearts are tired but whose calling remains. Through Matters of the Heart, she invites readers into a journey of healing, humility, and purposeful leadership rooted in biblical wisdom.

Her work draws on years of real-life leadership experience — the long seasons of triage, the patient work of healing, the discipline of training, and the quiet building of legacy. She believes that the condition of the heart shapes the condition of the team, the family, and the church.

When she's not writing, Jakita is speaking at churches, leadership conferences, and ministry events — helping others lead with compassion and faith.
