Since the first time I met Jessica I have been inspired to be better to do more… to be true and to be real… She has set the bar high and I am glad for that… there is a lot of work to do … Jessica has reminded me personally to continue seeking my sexual empowerment… as a former sex worker as an abuse survivor as a woman of colour…never mind all that… as a woman…I have internalized those disempowering messages… and the journey has been toward empowerment. Since meeting Jessica I have recommitted to my sexual empowerment and that has meant safe, fun, adventurous sexual connections… and there is no looking back… Yes Jessica is Awesome!

What can I say that everyone hasn’t? Nothing more than, “Jessica is the best!”

Jessica is a light, shining amongst the darkness of sexual health for Indigenous women and girls. I cried when my mother tried to talk to me about menstruation, and forever will I remain scarred not by this, but why it made me cry. The intersection between race and sexualy is so perverse, that a mother could not teach her own daughter about healthy sexuality. The most important thing any young girl could grow up with is a strong sexuality, to grow into a strong healthy woman, and it took me much trial and error(s) to get to this point where I feel I am in control (more or less). Thank you Jessica for being a voice of strength within an Indigenous woman voice, for women and girls to find their own sexual strength and demand more autonomy for their bodies.

I have a saying on my Facebook…that i try to live by…Jessica “is” totally living by this statement..

“When I stand before WaKonda at the end of my life,
I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left,
and could say ” I used everything you gave me.”
Ty Jess for being in my life…i am richer because of that!!!

I couldn’t agree more with the words “Jessica Yee is the most active and inspiring young activist in Canada today”. She is inspiring to young and old.
