Jessica Randell told her story at the Raven Narratives in May of 2026 when the theme was "mom/mothering". Born and raised in North Carolina by Yankee parents, Jessica is a unique blend of southern warmth and give-it-to-you straight candor. She discovered her religion, Nature, in the Appalachian mountains and has happily transferred her place of worship to the Southern Rockies. Her favorite entertainment is “Rainbow Concerts” performed by the Randell-Spear Family Band. Jessica’s typical day includes marveling at birds, explaining how the world works in toddler terms, and concludes with huggle snuggle time paired with a “Where’s Waldo?” search.
