Lou Jacques, better known on social media as JLou, The influencer has lived in Hong Kong her whole life, speaks native Cantonese and proclaims her love for rice by calling herself a rice addict.

Though she was a shy child, Jacques always enjoyed performing as it gave her the chance to explore a different version of herself. She would join drama classes and performance competitions, but never did she imagine she would be a public figure in the online space one day, sharing her experiences as a mixed-race person in Hong Kong.

Having a Chinese mother and a French father meant that Jacques grew up in a multicultural environment. She went to a local primary school and an international secondary school and speaks Cantonese, French (which she uses with her parents), English, Putonghua (which she learned in school) and Spanish.

"Having gone to local school for half my life and international school for the other half, I feel like I am in the middle of both cultures," she said. "I can blend in just the same in both - which makes me feel very lucky. It is almost like wearing a special pair of glasses to view different cultures and it makes me more empathetic toward different people."

Her social media content often focuses on her multicultural experience.

Her favorite part of being a content creator is that she gets the opportunity to connect with a community with similar experiences and learn about her videos' impact. "It is important for people like us to feel like we are not alone in this world. We are so lucky to have multiple backgrounds and privileges with languages and it is okay to be confused about your identity. It was not well talked about before, but I am glad it is now talked about."

Jacques has also been expanding her repertoire and is in the process of filming her movie debut. She has also been hosting and taking part in television shows.

"I recently relaunched #ricefam, my clothing apparel brand, and hope to expand the cartoon aspect of it. That is very exciting and I have many plans for it in the works."

The name of the brand stems from her love for rice and also reflects how her fans started referring to themselves. Having expanded her career into entrepreneurship and acting, it begged the question, would we still get see her online content?
