About Me

Hi, I’m Jessica Irene, I am a writer, researcher, survivor, volunteer, mother and registered nurse with a passion for Public Health.I don’t tell my story because it’s easy. I tell it because for too long, I didn’t.I lived through what I couldn’t name-abuse, addiction, silence, survival. I learned how to function through pain, how to smile through trauma, and how to carry a lifetime of wounds without making a sound.What I learned is time doesn’t heal all wounds, it festers. Eventually, the wound has to be treated or it becomes infected, possibly reopens.My healing didn’t come wrapped in pretty language or polished faith. It came in pieces. In breaking. In rebuilding. In finally calling things what they were and letting the light in and releasing all the shame, shame I was never meant to carry.Writing became the place where I reclaimed my voice. It’s where pain met purpose. Where the girl who survived learned to become the woman who speaks. When I started, they were variations through therapy or assignments from a women’s group I was apart, eventually they became a hobby.Now, I write for the ones still finding their way through the dark, the ones who feel all alone, and the ones who feel broken. I write for daughters. For mothers. For anyone who’s ever carried shame that didn’t belong to them. I’m here to say: you’re not alone, and your story matters.Thanks for being here.
