JHud certainly knows what she’s talking about. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Jennifer didn’t start her career on the stage... but at the drive-thru at Burger King.

Jennifer kept working on her craft and was eventually introduced to the world as a competitor on “American Idol.” Jennifer later eventually won an Academy Award for portraying Effie White in the hit 2006 musical drama “Dreamgirls,” adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical of the same name.
