Neurodivergent Boricua Technologist Returns to Puerto Rico, Reclaims Her Story, and Launches a Human-Centered Civil Rights Movement
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — After years of navigating workplace harm, institutional retaliation, psychological exhaustion, and systemic silencing within corporate America, neurodivergent Boricua technologist and founder Jessica (Salcedo) Skerrett has returned to the island of her birth with a mission far greater than recovery: to rebuild herself publicly, truthfully, and unapologetically.
Known online for her emotionally charged commentary, civil rights masterclasses, and emerging technology platform Fierza.tech, Skerrett is transforming personal survival into public education—creating a new framework at the intersection of technology, neurodivergence, institutional accountability, ancestral memory, and human dignity.
But this is not a “comeback story.”
It is a reclamation.
“I thought I lost myself in corporate harm,” said Skerrett.
“What I actually lost was the false narrative I had been taught about who I was. Returning home forced me to confront the truth: I was never broken. I was built by protectors.”
Raised between survival, systems, and silence, Skerrett now credits much of her resilience and moral framework to the late William Skerrett Sr., “daddy” the man who stepped in to help shape her, whose quiet strength and protective instincts became the emotional architecture behind her work.
What began as healing became revelation.
What became revelation became instruction.
And what became instruction is now evolving into a public-facing educational movement designed to help everyday people identify coercive workplace dynamics, decode institutional retaliation, protect themselves legally and psychologically, and reclaim power through knowledge.
Through her independently developed Civil Rights Legal Masterclasses, Skerrett breaks down complex concepts—including whistleblower protections, retaliation patterns, disability rights, systemic manipulation, documentation strategy, and institutional behavioral patterns—into language accessible to ordinary people navigating extraordinary harm.
At the center of that ecosystem is Fierza.tech, a developing human-centered technology initiative rooted in emotional intelligence, neurodivergent design logic, and ancestral accountability.
Unlike traditional tech culture focused on extraction, performance, and scale-at-all-costs, Fierza.tech positions itself as a systems-based response to emotional dehumanization in both corporate and digital spaces.
“Technology should protect humanity—not condition people to abandon themselves for survival,” Skerrett stated.
“I’m not building platforms to impress investors. I’m building systems that help people survive systems.”
Skerrett’s recent online visibility has drawn attention for its striking fusion of advocacy, humor, ancestral storytelling, Puerto Rican identity, and unapologetic emotional transparency—often blending luxury editorial aesthetics with sharp commentary on labor rights, trauma, and institutional hypocrisy.
Supporters have described her presence as:
- “part strategist, part storyteller”
- “a civil rights educator wrapped in Boricua glamour”
- “what happens when grief becomes infrastructure”
While critics have questioned the unconventional nature of her public approach, Skerrett remains unmoved.
“History rarely looks polished while it’s happening,” she said.
“People said I was ‘too emotional,’ ‘too intense,’ ‘too much.’
Meanwhile, I was surviving what would have destroyed people who had far more support than I did.”
Now based between Puerto Rico and the mainland United States, Skerrett says this next chapter is no longer about proving herself.
It is about building legacy.
And for the first time in years, she says she finally understands the deeper truth behind her resilience: she was never walking alone.
