Jessica Oyelowo is a creative force of nature: an actor, TV and film producer, singer, and song-writer. Jessica has brought her art to both the stage and the screen. Living in Los Angeles with her husband, David, and their four children, much of Jessica’s latest work highlights how her faith, her dreams, her convictions, and her roles tend to collide. In particular, her latest album '(M)other' empowers, honours and champions mothers. Belle and Justin speak to Jessica about Hollywood, motherhood, and what dreaming big dreams looks like when faith is involved.
