Who Am I?

My name is Jessica-Rae, Jess for short - even though my mum hates when people shorten my name- and I'm a 20-year-old care leaver from Manchester. My experiences in the care system have shaped my life, from relationships to education to food. I wanted to share these experiences to help others understand the point of view of a foster kid. I study Broadcast Journalism at the University of Salford, and aspire to be a reporter and presenter. In terms of hobbies and interests I'm pretty boring, but I spend most of my spare time - and money - shopping and exploring Manchester, if not I'm usually bed-rotting playing video games- yes I consider Sims 4 a video game- or binge watching the same series over and over. 

​

Join me as I continue to learn, grow, and shine a light on the experiences of a care leaver.
