“You are empowering me!” – she shouted.

Again and again, he kept brutally punching her while she kept repeating…”You are empowering me!”.

Jessica Bailey, is the writer and director for her book and movie “I’M NOT A NURSE’.

Her inspiring true story is about strength and resilience. Motivating her to smash her results in university, with distinction and to pursue her dream.

Turning struggles into positive courage.

21 years in Nigeria and 11 years in Australia.

At the age of 7, Jessica already began to hone her skills and passion, drawing inspiration from television. Sneaking out from her bedroom at 12 am. For 2 hours, she watched and learnt, imitating actors, practising and improving her performance.

Engaging her classmates and mesmerising them with her outstanding performance.

No matter their skin colour and background. She wants everyone to know that they are capable of greatness and to let their voice be heard.

“You are brought upon this earth for the sake of what is found inside your passion as that will drive you to your purpose. Your purpose is the only thing that will keep you happy for the rest of your life.

The rough patch that you are going through right now, it’s your journey.

It will build you, and not break you, toughen you up and prepare you on why you are here.

So ride through it, don’t give up, ENDURE IT.”
