Jess Vann (IT ME!) a multi-careered baddie who is an actor, creative, entrepreneur, speaker, vocalist, all while maintaining a full time job in Youth Development, Social Impact and Education. A girl with many hats, who has been tackling the ride of the tomfoolery and shenanigans of being a muggle adult!
So why not brings together some of her (my), closest magical and majestical peeps, to chat the many layers and complexity of life and showing up our most authentic selves and evoking the most gut busting joy! Tomfoolery and Shenanigans is a ridiculously fun, unapologetic. Dare we say, safe, brave and courageous space, where we discuss all the tomfools and chaos and amplify joy, grace and love! It's like your pocket of joy, on this corner of the interwebs! Your earholes (your ears people!!) will thank you later! LOL. Me, Jess, hopes it makes you smile, think, and feel you can take on the world. Let's face it, shits wild! Come thru bb's!
