**China Jefferson** is a First-Generation sim, lawyer, and reality TV personality. She was born in Providence, Rhode Island.

China was a contestant on the second season of Kev &Get It, where she placed 6th. She has put her successful law career on hold in order to focus on her television roles on Paloma De Pasiones and The Jeffersons.

## Early Life

China's parents, Melanie and Tim, are traveling hippies who decided early on in their relationship that they would name each of their children after the country they were conceived in. Though they conceived China in Guizhou Province, they returned to Melanie's hometown of Providence to give birth to their first daughter. They followed the same convention when naming China's younger sisters, Kenya and Taj.

China was an inquisitive child. She demanded to be enrolled in several after-school programs and was an avid reader. When she went to high school, she discovered her love for debating, and was the brightest student in the debate team. Upon graduating early and deciding she wanted to be a lawyer, she enrolled a pre-law program at a local university and then went on to law school in Oregon. Afterwards, she was quickly hired at Malcolm & Bihlmann, a firm in Providence, and she became the youngest partner ever at the firm.

She famously refused to take on a couple high-profile cases after the clients made racist comments. She launched a campaign in her region for inclusion of African-American women in the law field, which brought her recognition and respect from her colleagues.

## K&GI, Season 2

China is famously hungry for new challenges, and she thought that applying to Kev & Get It would be a good idea. She wanted to reach a larger audience and try something completely new, and the producers of the show liked her enthusiasm. She was announced as a housemate for the second season of the show and was instantly popular with the fans. She performed very well in the second episode, but a poor performance in the third episode challenge saw her land in the Bottom 3. Though she was well-liked by both the housemates and the fans, she was against two other fan favorites up for elimination, and China did not survive the elimination. She was sent home, reaching thirteenth place.

Her personality on the show made her a firm fan favorite. Many fans speculated that she was eliminated too early, and on a poll that asked fans to choose their favorite among the first seven eliminees, China was the winner. Following this, she returned for the comeback challenge in the ninth episode, where she competed against the other eliminated contestants up to that point in order to return to the competition. She did an excellent job in the challenge, and succeeded in returning to the competition. The following week, she took part in the acting challenge. Though she performed quite well, she landed in the bottom once again and was definitively voted out by the fans, ultimately placing sixth in the competition.

## Fame and Career

After her elimination from K&GI, China continued to star alongside her castmates from the show in Paloma De Pasiones. Her role as Marinela Amaya received much attention and praise, with some critics noting that she was very at ease in front of the camera. Her popularity and unique backstory convinced SimTV to give her her own show, starring alongside her family in a series about their lives together. This show, The Jeffersons, is slated to premiere in 2020 after the conclusion of Season 2 of K&GI.

## Personal Life

China's family is close-knit, though she has stated that she doesn't see them as much as she wishes. She has been romantically involved with multiple men, notably Gabriel Torres, but she is very private about her personal affairs.

She is good friends with Marjan Viljoen and Aurora Lizárraga. The three live together with two other friends in a village-style commune in Newport.
