About me

Oh hey! I'm Jess, a born-and-raised New Yorker who has spent years working in advertising and tech - and hating most of it. I write about my experiences as a biracial woman of color in too-white corporate spaces, unlearning and starting over, and occasionally some random pop culture commentary when the mood strikes.

Come for the rants about how wild and wrong this world is, stay for the joy we'll find together in spite of it.
