Jescekia Sam

Missing Pieces is very dear to Jescekia’s heart because of her personal experience with pregnancy loss. After dealing with the emotions of her stillborn, she now feels encouraged and inspired to help others.

Jescekia is an actual Houston Native, a rare find as the city has become one the country’s largest melting pots! She graduated from Alief Hastings High School and later obtained her paralegal certificate from Wharton County Jr. College. Although not an easy path, she persevered to define a role that brings her joy and fulfillment: owning her own business as a hairstylist. Now, she is balancing her business while working with as a Family Liason, helping families become meaningfully and actively engaged through classes and learning events.

She was devastated and stunned when she lost her son at 35 weeks gestation, especially after having delivered two healthy sons, Troy and Andrew, 13 and 14 years prior. Jescekia believes The Most High is the source that energizes her to continue to run this race and God saw fit to gift her another pregnancy in 2019. Jescekia and her husband, James, were blessed with a baby girl, who they named Abriea, the following year. 

Jescekia loves to dance and finds joy in teaching young ladies the gift of praise through this artistic medium as she serves as Praise Dance Director at her church. She also enjoys helping others however she can; if there is a need she is always willing to step in and assist. Jescekia values quality family time and spends it playing sports with her family, baking and just being plum silly.
