Derrick Jaxn: The Self Love Ambassador

You’ve probably seen Derrick Jaxn on social media. He’s a straight-no-chaser love and relationship advice has made him an internet superstar and earned him the title of “self-love ambassador.”

Derrick has authored and self-published a total of five books; two romance fiction novels, poetry, and two self-help affirmation books dealing with love and motivation. He also donates thousands of dollars per month to small black owned business via his social media initiative.

And my whole message to men is that one woman is plenty if you do it right. If you treat her right.”

“So I try to articulate the shortcomings of trying to f*** around with a lot of girls as opposed to just sticking with one. I simultaneously tell women to love on themselves, don’t come from a place of self-respectability and…
