Jessica Quarello (Jess Quarello) is a mother, singer, content creator, disability advocate, published author/songwriter and an Extra Lucky Mom. In 2020 she gave birth to Adeline, who at birth was diagnosed with Down syndrome. What started as a traumatic and scary diagnosis has propelled her into a life of advocacy and passion for her daughter and the disability community. She co-founded the advocacy platform Extra Lucky Moms with Taryn Lagonigro whom she met and connected with through friendship and advocacy efforts in May of 2021. ELM is committed to showing the world what it means to be Extra Lucky and to inspire those outside the disability community to create a more inclusive world. She is committed to spreading the joy of disability caregiving and to shifting perspectives, especially as the co-host of the Extra Lucky Podcast.

Jess started sharing her family and disability advocacy on TikTok in 2020 and over the last three years has been able to partner with many amazing brands open to inclusion and disability visibility. She hopes to inspire others facing a disability diagnosis to not fear the future but to embrace a new beautiful perspective.

From January to March of 2024, Jess was thrilled about the amazing opportunity to represent Walmart and Kimberly Clark as the 2024 Huggies Brand Ambassador. Authenticity is so important to Jess which made this collaboration beautiful and fulfilling.

 

Jess is currently working on her music and advocacy and is busy raising her two beautiful daughters!
