On The Tamron Hall Show<\/em><\/a>, she called herself \u201cJess-Sexual,\u201d and said that the term came from a conversation with her daughter.<\/p>\n She said that her daughter Dia had asked how she identified and showed her a video about different LGBTQ+ labels and identities.<\/p>\n \u201cI was like, ‘Girl, I’m more confused now than I was before this. I don’t know. If I have to coin it in the moment, I would say I’m Jess-sexual,’\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
