Jamiere Jeffries
Jamiere is a 22-year-old college student who was required to move out of the college dorm and take classes for her final semester from home. Her only major concern was how much school work was she going to get done while studying from home. She lives in a three-storeyed house but it was completely occupied as her family was big enough and she too had brought along her girlfriend and friend to spend quarantine with her in her house. "Finals are around the corner and am I ready? How am I supposed to work, read, research, do paperwork with all these people in the house," she says in a five-minute sneak-peek of the show that can be accessed here.
