Beyond the Blog: Spinning Beats & Giving Treats: DJ Jess’ Giveaway

This month we are featuring New Orleans’ own DJ Jess. DJ Jess, or the Vibe Dealer as she’s been coined, has been providing vibes for the city of New Orleans for the past 8 years. She’s been featured at events such as the New Orleans Pelican’s NBA games, Essence Music Festival, French Quarter Festival, and much more! 

She’s known to have audiences dancing all night long with her up-tempo tunes and infectious energy. Be sure to check out jessthedj.com to keep up with her and to see where to catch the vibes!

Alrighty, folks! I got your feedback about last month's business partnership giveaway loud and clear. It was like a game of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" with all those questions, screenshots, emails, and whatnot. So, this month, we're keeping it simple. To win a $50 gift card to the place of your dreams, we're just going to do a little two step to enter. Easy peasy!

Step 1: Follow DJ Jess on social media on Instagram, Twitter or Tik Tok @_dj_jess and/or

Facebook at Jess the DJ

Step 2: Return to this post and type 'done' in the comment section to acknowledge that you have followed DJ Jess on social media.

That’s it…everybody one-two step (or whatever Ciara said).

Would you like to double your chances? Let’s help our first business partner-Authentic Visuals by AP continue to grow her business by doing the same two step.

Both business partners have agreed to provide a discount when you book your photography session and/or event using code TrainofThought.

The winner of the giveaway will be announced on Tuesday, April 15th at 7pm, so make your blog post comments by 6:59pm next Tuesday.
