“Watch out Barbara Walters, here I come!”
Founder, Media Coach, & Content Strategist, Jakki Taylor was on her way. This affirmation, declaration and prophecy was place confidently under Taylor’s High School graduation picture.
Less than a decade later, Taylor began working with Ms. Walters, on the set of ABC’s The View as one of the original producers for which she won her first Daytime Emmy for “Outstanding Talk Show.”
Fast forward? Chicago in 2003. Oprah called, and Jakki joined the producing team of The Oprah Winfrey Show. She continued until Oprah’s final show. Jakki describes her experience there as “EXTRAordinary!” During her time on the show, she prepped “A-list” celebrities, political dignitaries, and titans of the industry for their sit down with the world’s most renowned interviewer, Ms. Oprah Winfrey. This “Jersey Girl” has come a long way from Montclair, NJ, ultimately relocating to Los Angeles in 2013, to produce on “The Queen Latifah Show.”
While Taylor continues to be a sought-after producer, she has turned her attention to media coaching and media booking. As the founder of This is Taylor Made Media, Jakki turns experts into T.V. Pros with her media coaching mastery. Working with successful authors, athletes, and other notables, she serves as a personal producer, helping her clients to own the screen and tell their story with memorable messages that captivate on camera.
