About the Show
“Jess Goes West” is a web series that follows a Congolese/South-African graduate who moves to Los Angeles to discover herself. What she discovers is that life in LA is not quite what she expected.
The fish-out-of-water story makes fun of the stereotypes people in the Western world have of Africa, and explores the thoughts of a regular African millennial experiencing America for the first time.

She’d wanted to make YouTube comedy vlogs about her experiences in LA, but, after taking a course in television writing, decided to put them into a scripted format instead.
