STORIES THAT MATTER
Domi Nation Collective exists to shift the lens and amplify the unheard. Through the power of film, photography, and literature, we are empowering marginalized storytellers to dominate the cultural conversation with authentic expression. Literature and photography serve as historical receipts. They document the nuances of both struggle and joy.
In a landscape where gatekeeping often dictates which stories are worthy of being told, and censorship attempts to flatten the complexities of the human experience, the arts become far more than just a hobby. It's about providing the counter-narrative necessary for a healthy, critical-thinking society.

My Story
|
Native of the South Bay of LA, raised in a large Black Catholic family with Southern roots, Jessica always found writing as the best outlet to laugh and to cry. Her storytelling is socially conscious, reflecting personal development and the essence of growing up in the struggle. She yearns to see the flurry of personalities from her upbringing projected on the big screen in meaningful ways: The hardships and triumphs of determined people of color, of substance abusers, of LGBTQ+ people, and of urban youth. The people usually counted out that overcome adversity through uniquely personal journeys of enlightenment. Jessica’s life has been heavily influenced by little people who make a big impact, and that truth drives her craft. Her passion for storytelling led to attaining a BFA from Columbia College Hollywood in 2014 and MFA from Loyola Marymount University in 2020. Since breaking into the film industry in 2021 Jessica has written for an unannounced children’s animated series under UYoung and was most recently staffed on Season 12 of NBC’s Chicago Fire.
