Jessica
Co-Host of ACOFAE: A Collection of Fandoms and Exploration.
Jessica loves traveling, reading & music. She works in entertainment PR, so reading has been a great way to take a step back from what she does, but also apply what she does. She has been grasping at all things ACOMAF/CC since finishing them this year. It has moved and changed her to her core. She always read books, but it was the first time she understood the complete immersion that comes with loving books on a cellular level. She is changed. Laura is the reason she has completely gone down the rabbit hole of the SJM/fantasy realm. She is mad at herself for starting out late in this genre and missing out.
Jessica has hosted 310 Episodes.
