VETERANS ADVOCACY
Jessica is a disabled post 9/11 military veteran and on the national campaign team for the non
profit wounded warrior project. She volunteers her story and has a documentary on Netflix
called Wounded that battle back home. She is a proud veteran with a vagina and used her story
and art to bring awareness to the obstacles facing the military women during their service or
afterward. Like many brave men and women before her, she has become a staunch antiwar
veteran for peace and belongs to numerous organizations that ask the big questions like “does
war ever solve our problems?” She is also a Survivor and thriver of Military sexual trauma,
domestic violence, and PTSD. She uses her voice to shed light on these issues not only for
veterans, but for women world wide,as well as offer solutions, to those willing to be creative.
Jessica is also a New Abolitionist, and believes that we do not have a prison industrial complex,
but rather a continuation of active slave trade via prison, unjust laws and the fukkery, due to the
13th amendment exception clause.
Her advocacy and her brand of feminism she created, called “Militant Matriarchy” is a
statement to the Universe that where there is white supremacist patriarchal oppression and
exploitation, she will there with all her tools to dismantle the fukkery, so we call all be free and
return to love.
