Jessica Summers is one of the founders of Fenix Collective and is the CEO of Fenix Creative Services, LLC. After finishing in BA in Sociology, Jessica is now pursuing her MSW at UNC-Charlotte and works as the executive director of Fenix Collective while also as a peer support program coordinator for a local nonprofit and as a community health worker for a major hospital system. She is a writer, editor, artist, student, researcher, advocate and ally, wife, and mom—and she is formerly incarcerated.
Jessica believes in new beginnings because she has had so any of them and knows that everyone deserves a helping hand and a fresh start. As an LGBTQIA+ person who has also struggled with substance abuse and mental health challenges, she wants others to have health and healing as well as the support of a loving community…which is why Fenix Collective was born. She works every day to learn and grow not only for herself but in order to be a better peer mentor to those whom Fenix Collective serves.
Jessica works with formerly incarcerated people, especially those who are on substance abuse and mental health recovery journeys and is committed to rebuilding this world as a more just and equitable place for all, one person at a time.
