It sounds very strange that I, the peer advocate for almost everything did not post about epilepsy on November 1st, but I showed it off to the world. I was proud to wear my purple, I was proud to remind epileptic people that it was national epilepsy awareness month. You know why? Because those 27... Continue Reading →
I’ve found a home to walk in the path of God in, finally! A place that makes me feel comfortable. The lord said “Come as you are.” I came in so confused back in July. I came in confusion on many things. It wasn’t that I wasn’t sure of what I was doing, it was... Continue Reading →
As humans, we have the toughest pride. We hate to hear the “truth”. This is what we may not necessarily agree with, but because it’s said, you start to believe it yourself. If you’re one who can take great constructive criticism, it goes well. If not, you’ll end up saying and doing things you’ll regret.... Continue Reading →
Hi Class, For my lesson today, I will be teaching you something maybe no one has thought of doing. Everyone may have came up with posting things to websites, recipes, and crafts. As an epileptic patient who went from nothing, to a lot, I will be teaching you the steps to believing in yourself. Step... Continue Reading →
“DO IT LIKE IT’S YO BDAY, BABY” - Joseline Hernandez I started this blog with an opening quote that I felt related best to us women. We often get jobs just thrown at us, or to be completed as an expectation, which can be done by men as well, but we do it. Stereotypes! A... Continue Reading →
So here I am back, after weeks of not speaking and keeping you guys updated. First and foremost I cannot stress this enough, EITHER WEAR YOUR MASK OR STAY HOME! That covid is NO joke. I caught it back in the earlier part of December preventing me from getting my second oral surgery. The look... Continue Reading →
Let me tell ya’ll something, some real spill. People look at me like I have 24 heads as I take the medication I do and still continue to work, and get up, and move around not sleeping all day. Having a neurological issue like Epilepsy is a disability, yet it doesn’t mean I’m disabled, and... Continue Reading →
I’ve been battling Epilepsy since age 19. At first I caught myself waking up in the middle of the night with a shirt drenched in sweat, next I caught myself hearing thousands of “Jessica” that I just couldn’t answer too. At that moment it was like anything triggered it, I cried, I seized, I stressed,... Continue Reading →
Isn’t it crazy, crazy how life works. It literally does a 360, and if you’ve done right by life; and forgiven yourself with true intentions to be pure, all is well. I sit and I think, certain times I used to cry, hysterically, about things that I had no control over. I wanted life to... Continue Reading →
There is a reason why I hang around the crowd I do, why I attract such positivity and production. My mindset isn’t the same as you because you are you and I am me. Get it? I can take constructive criticism, I can take new ideas, I can take new artist and turn it into... Continue Reading →
We as humans demand attention in certain aspects, and then turn around and give people a reason to be in denial on our decisions. For example, a major example in my eyes. Black lives matter is a major thing, racism is a major thing. Why do we take the terms and things said to us... Continue Reading →
I be feeling like ya'll don't really understand nothing. Not knowing when a seizure can happen is something. Us patients can't always tell you when it's coming, next thing you know everyone is running. Epilepsy is very serious to me, and not the right people see. I thought God was taking me with him to... Continue Reading →
All my years of being in the blogging and entertainment industry, I've had the chance to come across some amazing people. From music, to poetry, to dance, to just personal life inspirations. I've studied people and things I was into before coming into contact with that person or talent. Finally seeing it all constantly float... Continue Reading →
If you balance your life off of others and their actions, you may never see the positivity or growth, hell even ambition within yourself. Depression is a life-taking state; it can literally take your life or allow you to take over it. Now there is no easy way to tell someone coming out of a... Continue Reading →
What you allow to happen will continue. If you continue to accept something less of what you deserve, you devour your worth in all aspects. Quality over quanity can be interpreted in many different ways. In your work, or talent, how fast you work, or the amount of content you release does not matter if... Continue Reading →
Many ask me how I became Literaturebyjessc, it was random. I was going through things within myself, holding it back to myself, and eventually lost myself. I went from "_storiesbyjess_" to "Literaturebyjessc" ; after acknowledging my writing, and ability to become the poet and journalist I am today. Eventually people started to see post with...

Jersey Club was meant to be heard, whether it be with the Connect & Mrs.Karen Hall, L-Spiz and Jerseyclubtv, or Jerseyclub battles via Jerseyclubmusic on youtube and documentaries on PBS, etc. We are meant to be heard. Where it originated from and who the "Jerseyclub goats are", can be argumentative respectfully, but we are a... Continue Reading →
What makes me better than you? The truth is, nothing. We’re all the same, cut from the same cloth, with the same intention; to get to it. We were each blessed in our own ways. What makes yourself better than the next person mentally is the instilled ambition to be a better person then the... Continue Reading →
In Today’s world, we are often criticized for everything we do right down to the way we dress. What matters is what you think, not the thoughts of others. Infact, some I call constructive criticism; you’ll see that most when doing something that has to do with social media and the music/entertainment industry. Prime example,... Continue Reading →

It should never take for something to happen in order for one to realize they have responsibilities. We as humans tend to get sidetracked with the thoughts and impressions of others forgetting we have our own responsibilities. One of my favorite responsibilities is taking care of my house.

You've already blessed me with the continuous support of strangers, acquaintances, friends, family, as we exit 2019. The loyalty to myself #1 was much needed. I came to focus when bills had to be paid and I sort of jumped into everything throwing so much work upon myself that I fell behind a tad bit;... Continue Reading →
Each morning I wake up thinking " I don't wanna go to work," or "Damn, I gotta do this and that," which is nobody's fault but mine. It's about being an adult and owning up to responsibilities. Some of these things I signed up for on my own, other things like life, I didn't ask... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving is about being thankful for all that you have received, you're blessings, you're curses. Why? Because they've helped you prevail. My past has helped each month prevail into someone of whom I've never thought I'd become. Nobody understands the true meaning of that holiday and everything becomes a competition; who can cook better, who... Continue Reading →
There is a time and place for everything. A time to work hard, to grind, to do whatever it takes for you to do inorder to reach your goal. In doing so, you will notice and experience growth.

Expressing himself through sound, ya'll honestly know I love this one. I love the honesty behind someone's ambition and distinct motive.

Because he does resemble them, but with his own... Continue Reading →

Boog Jefferson waits for nobody. He put you on game, and it's up to you to decide what you wanna do, and it's a big ass mood. Sometimes moving on other people's time can be troubling, better yet the ambition on this guy is so amazing that he'll do it all on his own, and... Continue Reading →

Now out of all the things my supporters suggested, one of my favorite decided to discuss/hear my opinion on second chances. Lemme tell you all something.
