Where Authenticity meets Aesthetics.

At Cortina Jenelle Branding Agency, good branding is the result of even greater values. As a small boutique agency, it is my greatest joy getting to connect with each of my clients directly and even when I have to call in more hands to get the work done, rest assured that your success is not outsourced. The work speaks for itself!

Survey Says

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Relationships are the cornerstone of everything and I believe in creating content for businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, projects and teams that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also echoes the ethos behind what you do so that your authenticity translates beautifully on a page. Clients come here for internal branding work (diversity, equity, inclusion + belonging) as well as external branding work (i.e. graphic design, web development, SEO, copywriting, etc) or both. How about you?

Inspired by the beauty, sacred reciprocity and abundance embodied by Mother Nature, How to Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are, is how we birth creativity from chaos. This book is part-memoir, part-historical reference and part-creative workbook as author Cortina Jenelle takes the reader on a hero’s quest to actualize equity, catalyze change and shift out of oppressive culture. All are invited to this homecoming of Black, indigenous traditions as we reclaim divine alignment. Lean into the cosmic + planetary link between ancestral healing, collective liberation + creative entrepreneurship.

Environmental beautification, community accountability, social entrepreneurship, waste reduction, eliminating inequity + reducing harm are all addressed with the spiritual lens that has been missing from the collective conversations about healing trauma, healing our bodies and healing the planet. The change you seek begins within. If you are ready to make a difference, this book will help you take inventory of the strengths, gifts + opportunities within you, illuminating your unique magic as you learn how to contribute who you are to what the planet needs.
