A Little Bit About Myself
I have always had a passion for working with Children and Youth from all walks of life. It truly is a gift from GOD! The idea of Precious Diamonds surfaced in 2013, where I hosted my first session at a library with four incredible young ladies who are now adults. My focus gears towards Middle and Highschool girls ages 11-18. These ages are complex for young girls because they are trying to figure out their identities.
Sadly, I could not continue my meetings because my focus became being a caregiver for my mom. However, I was still able to check in on my ladies and do more work with the Children and Youth at St. Mark UMC, various churches, many after-school programs, and summer camps in East Baton Rouge.
It has been seven years since the official start of Precious Diamonds Mentoring before re-establishing in 2020! As you know, 7 is the number of completion, and I am ready to complete the task set before me. GOD has given me continuous signs to go further with this ministry.
*I am not a licensed therapist* However, I am trained in Mental Health First Aid and will provide accredited information as needed for anyone who may need additional assistance.
I am an Inspirational Motivator!
If you succeed, we ALL succeed!

Ms. Jamye has positively impacted my life due to her will to give. She is always helping others and uplifting people. I know that she puts family and friends first and cares a lot for others. Ms. Jamye has a huge heart. That big heart of hers has helped me a lot. From the first time I met her at B&G Club, I knew she would be a lovely woman. I just latched on to her. She was always available to help and to talk to when I needed her. She has done a lot for me in my times of need. She is a great leader with a fun, bubbly, and brightly spirited personality. Ms. Jamye has made bad days into great days, which is extraordinary, considering I met her in middle school, an incredibly stressful part of life. She was the first person I met at an academic level to bring the youth together for positive things like working together, communicating, solving problems, embracing our best potential, and respect one another. Ms. Jamye really made an after-school program very enjoyable for many and got me close to people I am still friends with today. Not only did you help me on campus but in my personal life. I have been able to attend church with her family on multiple occasions, be part of Precious Diamonds, and a part of her life as well. Ms. Jamye made me, my brother, and a whole lot of people, family.
Thank you.

I have the pleasure of knowing Jamye Rooks for over seven years when she joined St. Mark United Methodist Church.

I have the pleasure of knowing Jamye Rooks for over seven years when she joined St. Mark United Methodist Church. Since I have known her, she has always had a compassion for teaching and leading high school girls ages 11-18. This is a susceptible age for young ladies, and it takes a specific type of person to work with them. I support and recommend Jamye's Precious Diamond Mentoring program for young ladies who can participate. I was there when Jamye first started the program seven years ago, and I thought it was a good idea then, and I think it is a good idea now. Jamye is a wonderful woman of God. She has demonstrated great maturity and creativity and love and commitment to young people. She has a God-given gift for working with the youth and a passion for the Gospel. She believes in the Word of God and in Proverbs 22:6, which says, "Train up a child in the way they should go: and when they are old, they will not depart from it." This is what she believes as she continues to shape the minds of many young people, Jamye is trustworthy and someone who is respected. She is the youth director at St. Mark UMC, where she has served for many years and later became the Baton Rouge District Youth Director. Jamye is mature beyond her years. She demonstrates impressive professionalism, is exceptionally creative, and is genuinely dedicated to her passion. I always enjoy working with her. I want to end with this Bible verse from Proverbs 31:30, "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
