Jessica Vanessa is the number-one worker
in the world with two millions social
media followers give return attitude and
the 22 year old makes a six-figure
salary from her online appearances what
I make in six seconds would take me like
four months to make as a pre-k teacher
artwork just cuz I don't necessarily
want to say my income but I can tell you
this I bought a new car paid it off in
full and I was able to get on a debt
from my school that I graduated from
come out to this part of the beach more
up Jessica used to work as a
kindergarten teacher but took a huge
risk by quitting her job to focus on
making her videos either I make money on
the internet I make money doing these
videos ramaa be broke and jobless and
once I quit thank God all these
opportunities out of nowhere for some
reason just Rams and some my phaz like
hey we want you here we want you there
come travel here come travel there we're
gonna offer you this much money in this
much money and I was like well you know
it was like so much to take in
however social media sensation Jessica
wasn't always this outgoing when I was
younger I was very shy I didn't like
dancing in front of anybody I didn't
talk unless I was spoken to I started to
hang out with a different crowd that
crowd was more outgoing and I guess
that's what brought out a different side
of me I've always had it in me the
energetic side the the real outgoing the
the dancing that's working I guess I
didn't really break out of it and so my
middle school years eight and then once
I hit high school it was rap from there
everybody in high school knew me I was
like the party girl and despite her
online popularity she's faced criticism
so harsh that she's thought about giving
up people like to define twerking as
your [ __ ] few do it no it's just a type
of dance that's it if you were
open-minded you would understand that I
do get plenty of comments rude comments
mean comments I've had two breakdowns or
I just wanted to delete all my social
networks at one point I was just
I hate after hate after hate and I
really really got to mean I remember I
cried in my room and I just kind of like
closed the door you know like I didn't
have anybody to go to so I was just a
real like to myself I felt alone like
how can I have one point you know nine
million followers and feel this alone
however she can rely on the support of
her family when it comes to my twerking
they're very open-minded people you
don't look at it as degrading they don't
look at it and disgust they're very
supportive whatever I like doing
whatever I feel like doing
yeah go ahead and do it is what they
would say her brother Joshua is her
cameraman and Jessica says even her
grandmother would have proved she's a
wild and crazy like me so if I were to
show her she would probably get excited
and try to do it with me so I could
twerk in front of my grandma she'd be
like oh girl like she'd be excited for
it
Jessica's dad Rachelle does have some
reservations though I do worry I think
the twerking videos you know they people
might most people might consider sexual
that's something I really want my
daughter you know his name with but I
know it goes with the territory I look
at it from a different light I look at
it as she's she's just having fun and if
that's you know what she likes you doing
that's what she wants to do then I'm
gonna support her 100%
I even joked around with her telling her
one time I wanted to do one with her you
know I don't think I will
so with her lucrative online career
based on twerking videos and comedy
skits firmly established does she ever
think about returning to work as a
teacher I don't necessarily miss being a
pre-k teacher I do miss the people that
I used to work with as well as my old
kids but I never enjoyed working 9 to 5
12 to 7 2 to 7 however many
it took just because I always liked
entertaining people as a little girl I
always want it to be somebody big I
always wanted to entertain people
