Otissia: What made you want to do this?
Jenny: I’ve also love the arts and entertainment industry because my father was a blues singer and my mom was/is a teacher that always took me to plays. So, I loved it and always wanted to pursue it. I created the series after going through a series of bad events and found my way through faith

Jenny: I’d love to have the series on a network and having empowerment seminars bringing others to Christ.
Otissia: What is your biggest inspiration? What keeps you motivated?
Jenny: My biggest inspiration are the women in my life and my faith. Those are also the people and the methods that keep me motivated along with never wanting another person to go a day feeling how I’ve felt. Hopeless and worthless

Jenny: I’ve always envisioned entertainment and even doing motivational speaking, but never imagined creating an entire platform to share my trials to get to triumph.

Jenny: People can expect the full season one of “Fill, Heal & Restore”.

Otissia: What type of support do you get from social media & how does it play into your success?
