While at UM, Jade-Jenise also directed a rendition of the Scarlet Letter.
Recognizing the need for broader creative horizons, Jade later transferred to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. During her time at NYU, she received the prestigious "Presidential Service Award" from the Dean of the university for her outstanding contributions to stage play direction, particularly during Black History Month. This recognition underscored Jade's commitment to storytelling and content creation.
