**There will be two very extensive interviews since we want to ensure we chose the right personalities for the show and that individuals being considered are not applying for the wrong reasons. (More detailed info will follow once we get closer to that stage.)
This casting is for a show that documents the lives of real single parents living in the real world during this touch economy.
**Single parents must be open to exploring new things and feel comfortable with sharing every aspect of their lives on camera.
Below are the short bios of single moms already casted or in final review for consideration for a spot on the show:
Jessica Fernandez:
A 27-year-old single mom from Bridgewater, NJ, who at age 20 dealt with an unexpected pregnancy and has raised her daughter with the help of family and continued to pursue her studies in pre-law while working full-time for a Pharmaceutical Medical Communications Company up until late October 2009 as a project coordinator.
Her dream of breaking into the entertainment industry as a successful writer/producer, actress and entrepreneur has never disappeared and hopes that one day is given the opportunity to make that dream a reality. In the process of finishing up her first novel and has also has admitted to having a secret desire to make it as a singing artist but has lacked the confidence to puruse those desires due to past self-esteem issues but is ready to overcome that hurdle and start living the life she was meant to live and deserves.
After 4 years of mending a broken heart and dealing with a tragic unexpected death friend of a close friend she's tired of hiding behind a wall with fears of getting hurt again and hiding the guilt, anger and pain that came from her friend's death, she has come to the realization that life is too short to keep living in the past and is willing to open herself up again and give love another try after doing alot of soul searching and is opening up to the idea of taking advantage of her any new adventures and opportunities that come her way and hopefully finding the soulmate who she could settle down with along the way.
She's become very hungry for success and is determined to prove to all those who have doubted her abilities to accomplish her dreams by reaching that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and use her gained success to make a difference and will stop at nothing to get it! A big believer in everyone having the ability to create the lives of their dreams and hopes that by sharing her story with the world and allowing viewers to follow her journey to success and hopefully inspire other single parents everywhere to create their own life of their dreams.
Jessica’s favorite hobbies are shopping, (weakness for designer shoes and handbags!!) dancing, reading (especially self-help books on the law of attraction), and writing, spending time with family and friends, and just being a mom. She loves to state her opinions and thoughts openly and is known by all friends and family for being a nurturer wanting to take care of everyone, funny, very loving, giving and for being a great listener and person to go to for advice because of her open mind, big heart, and because she keeps it real with you whether you’re ready to hear it or not. But be warned….when that Puerto Rican temper attitude emerges, she is no one to be reckoned with.
"I've spent the last six years hiding from the world trying to protect myself from getting hurt again and realized how my present consisted of living in my past and lacking self-worth and confidence. It took me all these years and alot of soul searching to realize that the past events were all part of my life journey and part of who I was to become in the future. We have no control over change but have the ability to control what direction to take. Either a positve or negative path. Nothing good can come from taking a negative path....it just all started to make sense to me. Like what Oprah says, "This was one of the aha moments for me...."
"There are countless inspirational rags to riches stories and countless others of single parents around the world who have reached success despite their challenges of being a single parent and then there are those individuals who came from a single parent home and accomplished great things. Then you have those single parents who get lost in their struggles and lose confidence in what they had dreamed of doing. and spend their lives struggling and unhappy.
My vision for this show is to create a television reality series that all single moms out there can relate to on some level and to show those single parents who lack confidence and self worth that anything is possible if you believe in your dreams and that they're not alone in their struggles. This will be the first series that will focus soley on the lives of single parents so I'm very blessed and excited to be part of such a great project."
