"Motivated by confidence and resistant to failure," is how Jessica Blake pursues her goals and firmly upholds her objectives. Born in Tampa, Florida to an extremely large family, standing out from the rest of her siblings was not difficult because of Jessica humorous personality and imagination. Throughout her upbringing, Jessica aspired and knew that she would achieve extraordinary distinctions and express that desire when she wrote, sung, danced, and beat the dresser with two combs as if it was a full drum kit. One of her musical inspirations is "Shelia E", which inspired Jessica to attempt a real set of drums at an early age.
Although she obtained a BA in Accounting and a MBA, Jessica's passion for the entertainment world would not subside. October, 2007, Jessica enrolled in a series of classes to pursue a career in acting and gain knowledge of film, commercial, episodic, and other areas. Although she is fairly new in the entertainment industry, Jessica has structured her career around integrity by only taking roles that send a positive message. Pastor Brown, directed by Rockmond Dunbar, is one of the first roles that Ms. Blake accepted as a church member. Soon after, another opportunity was granted for Jessica to be an extra in a movie with Forrest Whitaker. Jessica flew to New Orleans to be an extra, but ended up being a security guard in the film Hurricane Season, which allowed more exposure.
Blake's life experiences are an inspiration to numerous ethnicities and backgrounds, which her book "Chaotic Success" release date set for 2011 reveals various aspects of her life. Furthermore, she encourages young men and women to never let the fear of failure stymie their dreams and aspirations. To further elaborate, "Success is given to us by default, but sometimes people choose or are forced to change the default settings. However, the settings could change back to default at any time." With that said, she remains focused, motivated, and determined to show people that obstacles could be turned into success stories.
