Discover your true voice

It’s time to become the hero of your own story...

Mentoring, Speaking Engagements and Workshops

My Mission

Do you ever feel like you’re meant for something more? Like there’s a voice inside you, yearning for fulfilment? To be set free to follow your dreams and passions, and live an authentic life in alignment?

I’ve been where you are – lost, lacking confidence, not having the answers or knowing where to go next – and I’ve learned you can transform your life when you discover your true voice. When you lean into your unique gift (we all have one!) and start sharing this with the world.

If we haven’t met, I’m Jessica. My life has been quite the journey. As a born storyteller, I knew I was destined for more than what society expected of me, and after facing some unimaginable challenges, I decided to follow my own path, honour my calling, and become the hero I needed.

Today, my mission, in business and in life, is to give back to others to help you reconnect with who you are at a soul level and access your inner voice and gift – just like I did.

You have a voice unlike any other. It’s time to embrace all the colours of you and achieve the inner peace, clarity, and happiness you deserve.

Meet Jessica

I’m living proof of the hero’s journey…

One of my earliest memories in life was watching my widowed mother dripping in sweat, pushed to exhaustion as she tirelessly walked 50km a day in the scorching Nigerian sun to put food and water on the table. Life was about survival and every day I would pray that one day, somehow, I would be in a position to wipe my mother’s pain away and release her from her suffering.

In my teen years, I became fascinated with Nigeria’s ‘Nollywood’ film industry and took great pride in relaying stories to my classmates. It was a light in my life, an outlet, a passion.

Then something big happened. I had the opportunity to move to Australia in 2012 with my then-husband and at last I was living the dream life I’d hoped for. But it was a world that didn’t feel like my own. When I turned on the TV, the stories on Australian screens were so foreign to me. And for years, I would conceal my natural hair with wigs to fit in – a very different Jessica to who stands here today.

I surrendered to what was expected of me: a career in nursing. But there was a turning point in my studies that shook me to my core, and I knew this didn’t make my heart happy. I needed to follow my passion. So I left nursing, knocked on every door I could to pitch my story – capturing the interest of a mentor who encouraged me to polish my gift and study a Bachelor of Screen Production and Journalism at Murdoch University in Western Australia.

Leading with my true voice, I completed my studies while escaping a domestic violence situation with two children in tow (and a family back home to send money to). I received funding to make my film ‘I’m Not a Nurse’, wrote a book, started a social movement and business: Black and Bold, and today I pour my heart into mentoring others in their journey to find their true voice and let their soul essence flow.

Work with me

No matter what stage you’re at in your story, my goal is to help you tap into the powerful energetic force you have within. To help you identify and own your passions, strengths, and gift, and walk away with tangible tools to make a meaningful impact in the world.

MY BOOK

I'M NOT A NURSE

“I’m Not a Nurse” is my book capturing my personal story of survival. A journey of resilience, homelessness, violence, and racism traversing two continents. I document the highs and lows of my life – and the turning points when I discovered my true voice and confidence to be the hero of my story. A bold, brave black African creator – not the nurse everyone expected me to be.

‘I’m Not a Nurse’, is also a film, written and directed by me, thanks to generous funding from Screenwest. The film is my passion project and has received widespread recognition on the world stage, taking home the Best Actress award at the Cannes Festival and an award nomination at the Gold Coast Festival.

These creative works are symbolic to me, both personally and professionally, and a testament that you can achieve your dreams with the gift you have within you. I’m proof that anything is possible.
