I had a chance to speak at a retirement community!
My husband played original music while I spoke.
My name is J.C Jackson. I am a performer, public speaker, educator, and writer. I have been writing & performing the unspoken stories around me since I was 4 years old. I have been in the education community teaching literacy for over 10 years. Currently, I am the District Instructional Technology Specialist where I support all the Library Media Specialists of a school district in Houston. Last year, I published the book, "Elijah Broke the Gate" (EBG). True performance pieces about child loss. In Oct. 2022, I premiered the theatrical production of (EBG) at Midtown Arts Center.
I am a great public speaker. I would describe myself as authentic & whimsical. Book me for your next event!

The feedback I constantly get as a performer and educator is that my work is authentic, whimsical, compassionate, and profound.
J.C Jackson is a whimsical wordsmith that loves Jesus, family, children, nature, and integrity. She has been writing and performing the unspoken stories around her since she was four years old. J.C. has a Bachelor of Arts in theater. She has been in the education community teaching expression through literacy for over ten years.. After losing her son, J.C. published the book, "Elijah Broke the Gate". True performance pieces about child loss. In this profound work of literature, you will hear the unheard voices of people who have experienced, miscarriage, stillbirth, regretted abortion, and more. In October 2022, J.C. had the world premiere of Elijah Broke the Gate theatrical production in Houston, TX. J.C. hopes she can help lighten the burden of trauma by telling a tale, performing, writing a story, creating, or just being.
