About Me

Hi, I’m Jessica

Jessica Franklin of HeyGorJess is a lifestyle, beauty, fitness, and fashion Influencer and Entrepreneur. But more than anything else, she wants to help women feel their absolute best.

Over the years, Jessica has consistently shared her fitness journey and the ways it has improved both her mental and physical health. In January 2021 she proudly launched her GorJessFit Ebook, a collaboration with certified trainer Michael Myers. The 6-week workout plan includes over 150 exercises and a nutritional guide. Jessica’s hope is that it is used as a tool for women to grow to their full potential.

A Jersey native, Jessica started as a natural hair blogger, encouraging women to embrace their texture. As her HeyGorJess audience grew on Instagram and Youtube, Jessica embraced the fluidity of their interests. She began sharing her own travel adventures, fashion, fitness journey, and home decor. As she evolved, so did her brand.

During this time Jessica moved to Brooklyn, but after two years she followed her passions and relocated to Los Angeles in August 2018. Away from her family for the first time, Jessica turned to her corner of the internet to share both her moments of struggle and of joy. She believes in the power of having a positive outlook on life and wants to encourage others to live life to the fullest. As a Black woman, Jessica knows the importance of sharing her successes and lifting others up in her community.

HeyGorJess has built a community 160K people internationally including but not limited to the US, Canada, France, United Kingdom, and Brazil. In addition to her Instagram, blog, and YouTube channel, Jessica has been featured on Elle.com, Essence.com, TeenVogue.com, and Bustle.com. She has also been included in Glamour, Instyle, and People Magazine print editions.
