Jess Guilbeaux's adoptive parents disowned her when she came out as a lesbian at age 16. Ever since then, Jess has been struggling to make ends meet and hasn't kept in touch with her biological sister. Because of her rough family experience, Bobby, given his own past, especially shares a bond with Jess. Moreover, Jess has also felt like she's never truly belonged in the black community, expressing how she's been called an "Oreo." Get ready for tissues, because "Black Girl Magic" is all about Jess accepting herself, as someone who's worthy of love and as a queer black woman. The great news is that after the episode dropped, a fan's campaign raised over $100,000 for Jess to go back to college.
