Life for a woman is anything but simple let alone easy. Everyday there are various societal forces that push and pull us in multiple directions along with the simultaneous pressure to conform to what is considered “normal”. That's among the many reasons why young women look towards fashion, weekly trends and the opposite sex as an additional avenue in which to gain a sense of self on a day-to-day basis. However, you do have your small clusters of young women who devote an endless amount of time and energy into something more concrete, promising and most importantly something that taps into there creative side. This strength of character is found in creative trendsetting individuals such as model, actress and reality star Jessica Rich. A native of Grand Rapids, Michigan Jessica Rich has been in love with the entertainment sector her entire life. At a young age Rich decided to forge ahead despite the many obstacles and barriers she faced, and pursue a full time career in the entertainment industry. The aspiring superstar has worked with the likes of Jim Jones, Fabolous, LL Cool J and many more. At first glance, it would be easy to come to the conclusion that this new actress may just be merely another Pretty Face. However, after a brief conversation with Rich, her enthusiasm and intelligence would allow for the opportunity to gain a sense of keen respect and admiration for her. Jessica Rich is definitely the breath of fresh air and serves as the mark of distinction in the current industry. This mark is one that separates the real from the fake as well as the short-lived from those who truly show the promise of longevity. Jessica Rich reflects back on her childhood and admits that she has always been goal-oriented and driven for success in the big lights of fame. "I've always been a hard worker. I was a cheerleader in high school and involved in many extra curricular activities." In 2006 Rich moved to New York to pursue a career in modeling and hasn't returned to the Midwest since. By gracing the pages of mainstream publications such as "The Source" and "Black Men" it is easy to see that Rich is well on her way to the top of the industry. Jessica's first big break came when she landed placement on VH1's reality show entitled "Real Chance of Love" in 2008. "The show is centered around Chance and his brother Real, looking for love and romance in Los Angeles, California. “The show was crazy and a lot of fun," states Rich. When asked about her future goals and plans Rich states that she would like to further her career in television, and seek a variety of acting roles in upcoming sitcoms and soap opera's as well as be given the opportunity of hosting her own television show.
