Love On My Block? Us too! Get to know the woman behind fireball "Jasmine" here...
She's a two-time Disney Star!
Born on March 23rd, 1987, in Orlando Florida, Jessica has been on both Disney shows Liv and Maddie and Diary of a Future President. She calls Disney her "home." The creators of Liv and Maddie were even the officiants at her wedding!
She builds up other Latinx projects too
On Jessica's social media she frequently advertises and promotes other Latinx productions she is interested in like Netflix's Gentefied. She says she enjoys "celebrating our people in this industry because I think for so long, we were so limited and we were all fighting for the same roles."
Jessica is a Florida Native
She was raised in Orlando, Florida and moved to Los Angeles when she was 19. The fiery Mexican-American was raised in neighborhoods that were predominately Cuban and Puerto Rican, so when she moved to Los Angeles she was blown away with how easily she fit in and recognized her Mexican culture everywhere.
She Was On How To Get Away With Murder!
If you were watching On My Block and were wondering "Hm, where have I seen her before?" it was on ABC's hit series How To Get Away With Murder. Of course, she fits right in with the strong female cast as "Rhonda Navarro."
