ABOUT The 355:
The 355 (2022) is the new action movie starring Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong'o and Penélope Cruz.
When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, wild card CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown (Oscar®-nominated actress Jessica Chastain) will need to join forces with rival badass German agent Marie (Diane Kruger, In the Fade), former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah (Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o), and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela (Oscar® winner Penélope Cruz) on a lethal, breakneck mission to retrieve it, while also staying one-step ahead of a mysterious woman, Lin Mi Sheng (Bingbing Fan, X-Men: Days of Future Past), who is tracking their every move. As the action rockets around the globe from the cafes of Paris to the markets of Morocco to the wealth and glamour of Shanghai, the quartet of women will forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world—or get them killed.

Jen's story proves how hard work and having faith pays off. When she was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she told Oprah she wanted to be the next her, just the Filipino version. Oprah’s response was one of the many things that motivates Jen to keep going: “Jen, the next me will be you, just keep doing what you’re doing because someone needs to be that voice.” From there, at only 22-years-old, she decided to move, packed her car and drove to Los Angeles from Chicago with no job, plan, friends or family to follow her passion of being on camera and it ended up being the best decision she ever made as it was the start of her career. If you heard the stories behind all her opportunities, it would seriously give you the chills.
Jen continues to follow her purpose everyday to inspire others through her content to go after their passion and become the best version of themselves through her story, personality, values, transparency and faith in God.
