Jennifer - Writer. Orator. Revolutionary. Jennifer J. Gaskin is a Caribbean American, Black woman creator who delivers her message through direct, strong, and honest oration and writing. Her professional career spans nearly 20 years in the STEM industry, including more than ten years in leadership positions and recognition as a thought leader in her chosen field. Raised in Dorchester, Boston, MA, during the late 80s and 90s and living through the crack epidemic, inner-city violence, and gangs while being bussed to the most affluent town in Massachusetts for an education, brings a unique perspective crafted through complex life experiences to her writing and speaking engagements. She is a wife, mother, “Mimi,” aunt, and daughter who has used her unique life experiences to drive her inspiring work. As a daughter and granddaughter of the Grenadian revolution, Grenada being the island nation she embraces as home, she aspires to be the voice of the revolution, the revolution of Black people’s liberation, globally. Often misunderstood due to her raw and gritty delivery, she has dedicated her next journey to giving a voice to those also walking this path. She aspires to provide a voice for the voiceless and create space and connection for healing. Writing has served as an outlet of healing and connection for Jennifer. She believes there is power in creating an opening to understanding through having intentional conversations, leading with love, and sharing culture to enable authentic connection. This was the motivation behind the creation of the Worcester Caribbean American Carnival Association; to connect the local community through a shared experience of culture and create a shared annual tradition. In 2023, Jennifer will release her debut book, “The Exit - Living with Urban Joy.” “The Exit” exemplifies Jennifer’s storytelling skills and takes readers through her life’s trials and triumphs to understand how living with urban joy can make a difference. She is also one-half of the podcast, Don’t Touch My Podcast, Founder & President of the Worcester Caribbean American Carnival Association, and author of the Substack newsletter, Bachannal Business. Black voices matter. Her voice matters. Our collective voices matter.
