Gigi James is an American actress of African-American and European heritage born in Jacksoville, Illinois. Her mother's military service and father's sense of wanderlust took her from that small town to St. Louis, to Brooklyn New York, to Northern California, to Hawaii and finally Chicago. It was in Chicago that she discovered a true love of acting through the Pros Arts Studios Kids Circus where she trained and preformed for three years. She went on to become part of the Inaugural Class at The Chicago High School of the Arts and attended multiple filmmaking and photography programs in the summers. After graduating in 2013, she moved almost immediately to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. Gigi has been a proud member of the 'Truth be Told' Acting Collective hosted by Bojesse Christopher since Sept. 2015 and has recently completed the Associates of Fine arts Acting for Film program at New York Film Academy.
