Set in the streets of Toronto, Accra, and Bridgetown, my stories are for the readers who balance two worlds: the one our parents brought with them and the one we’ve built for ourselves.

I write for the readers who are still learning to love every part of who they are, even when it feels like the world is trying to box them in. They are not too much, and they are never too little. They are a beautiful combination of every part of their identity, and they deserve to take up space!

So with that being said, I am excited to finally share the book of my heart. My debut YA novel, The Full Picture, which will be published by hibiscus press on December 1 2025.

Set during Ghana's December festive season, eighteen-year-old Robyn Carter embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about her late mother's past—only to find herself torn between two boys who couldn’t be more different.

I’ve been rocking with my girl Robyn for a while now, and I think it’s about time y’all met her. Don’t forget to pre-order your copy, and I hope you enjoy her story.

Hello World,

Love, Jessica
