She is pursuing an Alternative MBA with the U-Solve School of Empathetic Leadership. Jessica’s experiences of childhood neglect and later homophobic abuse were one of the stories featured in Lloyd Newson’s London’s DV8 Theatre’s 2008 production “To Be Straight With You”.
Her willingness to engage and educate with forbearance and empathy, anyone willing to discuss and debate these issues has become her signature as a human rights communicator. This can be heard and felt on her Conversations For Change podcast. In 2018, an empathy building VR game, created by a multi-national project team, of which she is a part, will debut at the Global Challenges Retreat at Oxford University.
