As a clinician Just Jeanette is engaged in her life’s purpose working with individuals and families in crisis. Jeanette attended Malcolm X College for her Associates in Social Science\, Northeastern University for her Bachelor’s in Social Work and graduated from Dominican University with a Master’s in Social Work but is most proud of her graduation from The Family Learning Program @ The Puerto-Rican Cultural Center where she obtained her High School Diploma at the age of twenty six and learned to embrace her heritage\, her people\, and her voice. Jeanette was a member of The National Committee for the Release of The Puerto Rican Prisoners of War (Que Viva Puerto Rico Libre!) and is forever grateful for that experience and privilege.

Jeanette is also beginning the collection of works of young women of color in this and other communities in the hopes of compiling an Anthology that speaks to their diverse and similar experiences\, dreams\, and tears.
