A self-described “Overcomer”, Jessica’s determination – supported by friends, family, professionals and mentors – empowers her and drives her forward against the odds. She has successfully taken the difficult transition to a life of new beginnings and new challenges after many years of exploitation – a journey most of us cannot imagine. Her belief (and daily investment) in the transformative power of education, self-exploration, discipline and humor fuel her to continue to develop and deliver to the world more of what she has always had within herself: strength, intelligence, integrity, grit, compassion, and a love of life and family. Jessica’s journey is not hers alone.
