Jamaal Starks

Jamaal L. Starks, affectionately known as Porcelain, is a unique Miami native whose journey has seamlessly intertwined personal passion with professional advocacy. His introduction to yoga began in 2006, sparked by an exploration of transcendental meditation while navigating a successful corporate career in the aviation industry. In the wake of the global climate shift in 2020, Jamaal made a pivotal decision to step away from the corporate world to pursue his authentic interests. Through a deepened commitment to yoga, he discovered a sense of community and purpose at the Miami Life Center, where he played a vital role in establishing The Queer Yoga Club. This experience not only enriched his practice but also allowed him to engage with yoga in various forms. In 2024, Jamaal completed the Ashtanga Practitioner Intensive, earning his teacher's certification and enhancing his skills in yoga. Today, he is well-versed in tarot, energy work, and sound healing, which he integrates into his holistic approach to wellness. Beyond personal practice, Jamaal is a passionate advocate for the wellness and rights of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. He actively contributes to this mission by serving on three community boards, including as President of the Miami Chapter of Impulse Group Miami—one of the largest LGBTQ social groups. Additionally, he holds the position of Director at The Legacy Builders Consultant Group Inc., and serves on the Board of the Men of Color Health for ViiV Healthcare. His commitment to advocacy extends to media, where he anchors Queer News Tonight for Happening Out TV Network. Jamaal's journey reflects a harmonious blend of personal growth, community engagement, and unwavering support for marginalized voices, making him a cherished figure in the Miami wellness and LGBTQ+ communities. In his teachings, Jamaal emphasizes the practice of embodiment through the avenue of sensuality. He encourages listeners to tune into their bodies, using breath to access pleasure and release blockages, ultimately guiding them on a grounded path to wellness. With an unwavering commitment to fostering inclusivity and healing, Jamaal champions the rights and well-being of diverse communities, making a lasting impact in the realms of wellness and social justice.
