Played by Coco Jones

Tennessee native Coco Jones has accomplished what most people would hope to achieve over their lifetime. Coco was first noticed at the age of nine, after she sang the National Anthem for the St. Louis Rams in front of 42,000 people. From that moment on, having gotten her first taste of the entertainment industry, she was off and running. She began writing and recording in the studio, as well as doing live performances.

Coco is down‐to‐earth, sensible and very comical. She strives to be a light for her generation, and an advocate to all girls of color that she can reach. She aspires to use her platform for the benefit of the girls who look like her and understand her struggle. Coco is hard-working, and consistent. She always has a lasting effect on those she encounters.
