23 years old Jessica identifies with the historical character of Mandela, as all the adversities she had to fight for her ideas. A phrase that the lady always said was "Do not judge me by my success, judge me for the times I fell and got up again" and that is what Jessica too believes in. Jessica wants to be remembered as smart, elegant and a person with a positive attitude. She loves drinking coffee, travelling, going for movies and spending time with family. She resents injustice, racism and discrimination and wants to work with endurance and discipline in life. Her biggest strength lies in her belief in God.
