Jennifer Sears talks ALLBLK’s COVENANT ‘The Retribution’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Actress Jennifer Sears was born in Douglas, GA, and raised in Paterson, NJ. While still relatively young, she moved to Dublin, GA, blending her previous inner-city environment with that of her new southern hometown, hence, providing her with a cultural mix on which she would unwittingly rely in her future career. Growing up in Dublin, Sears excelled in both scholastics and athletics such as track and field, as well as cheerleading for which she was awarded NCA All-American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following graduation, Sears moved to Atlanta to attend the prestigious historically black university, Clark Atlanta University, where she studied and attained her Bachelor of Arts in political science\/pre-law with her sights set on a future in law, specifically entertainment law. Unbeknownst to her, entertainment was certainly destined, just in a different capacity. Shortly after graduation, while at the proverbial crossroads like many college graduates entering young adulthood, Sears was invited to audition for a role in a film by a friend who was working as a production assistant on the project. Equipped with no professional acting experience, no headshot, no representation and no cares, Sears went to the open call with nothing more than optimism and confidence and booked the role immediately. That film was none other than Tyler Perry\u2019s box-office hit \u201cMadea\u2019s Family Reunion.\u201d To have an acting debut in an unforgettable scene in Tyler Perry\u2019s directorial debut is what many may consider sheer luck, but Sears took this as a sign at the crossroads to detour from law and proceed into acting. That, she did, never looking back. Several years later, this time properly equipped with years of training and experience, Sears has worked alongside some of the industry\u2019s most astounding talent and production teams with roles in the award-winning and Golden Globe nominated film \u201cBessie\u201d alongside Queen Latifah and Mo\u2019Nique, \u201cThe Best of Enemies\u201d starring Taraji P. Henson, VH1\u2019s \u201cDaytime Divas\u201d alongside Tichina Arnold, Bounce\u2019s \u201cSaints and Sinners,\u201d FOX\u2019s \u201cStar,\u201d to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, Sears joined OWN\u2019s acclaimed series \u201cGreenleaf,\u201d the drama about the unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets and lies, for their final season. Sears portrayed \u2018Tara,\u2019 the sister of \u2018Rochelle Cross\u2019 played by Destiny Child\u2019s LeToya Luckett, who holds a large part of the Greenleaf family\u2019s fate in her hands when a buried secret is discovered. Sears enjoyed the challenge of taking this new character being introduced to the \u201cGreenleaf\u201d franchise and breathing life into her. Sears went on to recur as \u2018Shalogn\u2019 on Season 2 of BET\u2019s comedy series \u201cBigger\u201d, before starring as one of the leads in \u201cBad Dad Rehab: The Next Session.\u201d The heartfelt drama film followed four men struggling with fatherhood and in need of guidance through an unconventional rehab program. Sears played \u2018Denise,\u2019 a devoted wife to one of the \u201cbad dads\u201d, having to carry the household by herself which causes many complications both physically and emotionally. Jennifer just appeared as \u2018Kietra\u2019 on FOX\u2019s \u201cThe Resident\u201d and will soon be seen starring in another lead role as \u2018Jada\u2019 in the rom-com film \u201cF Boy Free\u201d from writer\/director George Lott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlanta actress stars as lead in her latest project, the \u201cCovenant\u201d series which premiered on AMC+ Network\u2019s ALLBLK on October 14, 2021. Jennifer plays the lead role of \u2018Trish\u2019, which she considers the most challenging and rewarding character in her 16+ year career. Her character\u2019s story titled \u201cThe Retribution\u201d, which is set to air in November 2021, was a personally difficult one to tell, as Sears had to relive her own traumatic experiences in the name of art and storytelling. Jennifer originally auditioned for another character but booked the role of \u2018Trish\u2019 instead, which she calls God\u2019s way of guiding her along the path of healing. With a mentality of \u201cyou have to feel in order to heal,\u201d Jennifer let her faith take over and \u201ctrusted God with her pain\u201d to able to play the role, working with an emotional and intimacy counselor provided by production. \u201cCovenant,\u201d created by Kaye Singleton, is a thrilling 4-part 8-episode anthology series that reimagines classic Bible stories as they would take place in the modern world\u2014challenging viewers to examine how sacred lessons of faith and love fit into today\u2019s society.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Sears has no intention of slowing down anytime soon career-wise, she always makes time for philanthropy and social activism; lending her voice, resources and influence to countless worthy causes, remaining true to her political science roots and being a true maverick in all walks of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
