Jessica has a Ugandan and American passport, and she uses both of them. She has lived in five different countries and four different continents. In one of her popular interviews with CNN, Jessica said that even though she has an American passport, she still faces discrimination when trying to enter some countries and this is due to the fact she is visibly African.
She further sited some incidents that frustrated her in some of the African countries who are known to be visa-free countries but with her black nature, she was being asked to provide a clearance letter, but Europeans come in and tamp in very easily.
“The discrimination that I faced in South Africa was ridiculous. Not only from the white south Africans as you would expect, but also from black South Africans” she said.
