Originally, I planned to release a blog about Jersey coming together, which we haven’t been doing due to self-esteem, “I made this first,” and accusations that had nothing to do with the purpose of Jersey Club. We let others think different of us, FOR A SECOND! Now, we back! I love the way Jersey has... Continue Reading →
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 →
Here’s to being thankful! Thankful for another year, another breath of fresh air, another moment of peace even when there sometimes seems to be no way to find it. I’m thankful for how far I’ve come along, health wise, mentally, and physically. The devil tried to knock me down plenty of times, when all I... 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 →
Credit is always given when deserved. I never not once said " You wouldn't have this if it wasn't for me," because I don't condone in negativity.

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 →
Moving in silence is the best way to move. You get so much accomplished staying out the way, and have the opportunity to work on yourself as a person, and within your talent. Almost like a game plan. Respectfully, as Stevie Styles's manager, I'm proud of his progress, his ambition. It's people like "Tazz" and... Continue Reading →
Meeting people through school and community activities is awesome; yet social media can be a little scary for some.

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.

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 →
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. It truly showed me who’s there for... 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 →
Now, I love hearing new music. Why? Because it's an expression of what one has seen, done, or been through. It's always interesting to hear where one has come from because it shows a few things like what one has been hiding or why they act the way they do. What drew me to Quesse... 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 →

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 →
