Jaime Lee Simmons, Tragedy to Comedy
Hailing from Mull, Massachusetts, Jaime Lee Simmons is a stand up comedian, podcast host, content creator and survivor.
She had to mature and grow up at an early age as she watched her father, Eric M. Simmons, a well known Boston Stone Mason, get addicted to his back painkiller medication which spiraled into him becoming a prescription /opiate drug lord on the south shore. She had to spend her high school years with both her sister, Jessica Ann Simmons, and her father in jail.
Her sister and father passed away from drug overdoses, and her family fell apart. She had to help raise her siblings while maintaining a 4.39 high school GPA and she turned to marketing & social media as her way out of poverty and pain. Jaime wrote a poem about her father as a class assignment to write about someone in the news.
She wrote in part: Your words, too fast off your tongue and onto the newspaper website, your convictions fly, the ignorant townspeople’s comments along with them.
