My guest speaker Jessica Shaday Simington was born in Los Angeles, California. She is a recent graduate from California State University, Dominguez Hills obtaining her B.A in Theater Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies (Comparative Cultures). At a young age, she would reenact movie scenes and sing to herself in the mirror. Her love for the Arts flourished from talents shows in her local community, church skits, and the Boys and Girls Club where she joined the Peapod Program under Will I Am from the music group Black Eyed Peas. Her love for Theater elevated through Theatrical Productions such as, If the Church Don’t Cry Out, Truth Lies and Hidden Agenda, A Question of Grace, Misleading Lady , Can God’s Love Reach You in The Dark, and the notable play Before It Hits Home by Cheryl West (performed at CSUDH/ Director Donis Leonard) where she won Best Supporting Role for the characters Angel and Simone. She is an Author of the newly published Book entitled “Pick Up Your Crown” that focuses on breaking cycles of abuse while taking accountability and seeking the help of God. We learn about all this and more on “Behind The Real”.
