Jessy Schuster is a journalist ( Guadeloupe la 1ere). When she was younger, she studied law for one year in Fouillole because studying journalism in Guadeloupe was not possible. But she was not satisfied with it. She was not passionate about law. Journalism was what she craved for. She then decided to go to Miami though she did not speak a word of English. Therefore, it was not easy to adapt. Furthermore, studying in the US can be really expensive e.g. 35,000 (US $) a year.
To enter Miami university, she had to apply for some scholarships. Finally, she graduated with honors and was the major of her promotion.
Jessy started her journalist career on PBS. She had the opportunity to interview several famous people such as Barack Obama, Britney Spears and Kanye West among others.
She sought to put Guadeloupe and its culture on the map. Indeed, people in Miami did not even know that Guadeloupe existed. She decided to promote Guadeloupean carnival in Miami. Thanks to her, a lot of people discovered our culture. She was even crowned queen of Carnival of Miami in 2021. She lives between Guadeloupe and Miami. She released a documentary about carnival entitled “MAS” that can be discovered on youtube.
She is an inspiring self-made woman and a role model.
