Jessica Wetz is a 30-year-old multi-disciplinary entertainer, activist, and community builder based in Vancouver, Turtle Island. In 2013 Wetz began writing social science op-eds on a vlog exploring relationships between self, others, and systems harming them. By 2014 that developed into videos styled like a ranting FaceTime call with a relatable friend. 2018 she gained local notoriety, and by 2020 achieved international prominence on TikTok.
Amassing 1,120,000 followers and 7,000 videos thus far, empowering others to "be the ripple effect." This expanded into professional photography and glamour modelling. In 2023 videos on addiction went viral, and the disabled community solved a 27-year misdiagnosis of genetic conditions that doctors had mistreated as mental illness and trauma. Wetz now platforms this discussion to help other misdiagnosed patients. Politicians, researchers, and journalists reach out to hear her insight and learn about the "Wetz Wave" community.
Wetz work has been featured by MTV, Smithsonian Magazine, Cancelled Podcast, HuffPost, Buzzfeed, Daily Hive, CTV, CBC, and many more. She has interviewed political leaders and been interviewed by doctors, academic researchers, and journalists. Most notorious series and top 200 million videos include Disability Cups, Abortion, Police Brutality, Medical Binders, Eye Pain, Claw Ribs, Labia Tears, Islamophobia, Addiction, Anti-Racism, Lesbian Makeup, Child Abuse, Prolapse, Religion, Pre-teen Sex Ed, Gun Reform, and Looking 30 at 13.
Activism for human rights issues and sensitive topics others avoid has resulted in frequent account bans. Each time, she rebuilds the community, unwavering in pursuit of truth in a way that's digestible and entertaining. Referred to as a "neurodivergent translator" and "mirror to the misunderstood impossible to look away from" amongst the "Wetz Wave" community.
Jess great-grandparents immigrated from Western Europe to Saskatchewan in early 1900. November 4th 1995 she was born and raised in Bonnyville, Alberta on Treaty 6 by divorced parents. She was a competitive dancer until she began getting recurrent injuries as a pre-teen.
