If you are an OG watcher of natural hair, beauty and fashion content then you know Jessica Pettway.
Jessica rose to popularity by creating engaging content on various social media platforms building a significant following and community on every platform she touched.
Pettway often collaborated with brands in the beauty and fashion industry sharing product reviews and tutorials with her audience.
Her content often focuses on makeup tutorials, skincare routines, hair care tips, and fashion hauls.
Pettway is known for her down-to-earth and relatable approach, which resonates so much with us and her many followers.
She also shares insights into her personal life, including snippets of her family and daily routines.
Her baby girls were a staple on her feed, we literally watched them grow up.
Jessica hopped back on Instagram last year to share some of her health journey and what she went through the past year.
While we do not know all of the details…the ordeal she described was not easy for her or her family.
Jessica Pettway was misdiagnosed with fibroids when it was stage 3 cervical cancer. I hope her husband sues that hospital for every penny they’re worth. Not that it will bring her back, but that negligence is inexcusable!!

I remember getting the talent list for my days hosting the ATT stage at BETX. On the list was Jessica Pettway, one of the OG beauty YT girlies. I was so excited. Today, I learned of her passing after a battle with cancer and it stopped me in my tracks. Rest well. pic.twitter.com/GEVLtXL1SU
