After graduating high school, she embarked on a journey around the world, meeting her future husband along the way.

They eventually settled in Washington state, where they raised their family. Once her children graduated and began their own adventures, Lia seized the opportunity to pursue her long-lost dream of acting and returned to California to diligently hone her craft.

Her upbringing in the church fostered a natural talent for improv and comedy, adding depth and authenticity to her performances. Proficient in the Samoan language, Lia takes pride in representing her heritage through her work. Over the years, she has embraced a variety of professional roles, including hairstylist, realtor, investor, caregiver, wedding planner, party planner, and travel agent. Additionally, she is weapons trained, showcasing her versatility and commitment to personal growth.

Always seeking new experiences, Lia has a deep passion for travel and enjoys outdoor activities such as camping, riding ATVs, fishing, and hiking. Coming from a distinguished lineage of leaders and chiefs, her Samoan name, Fetalaiga Atuu’u, translates to "speaker of the people." This title, bestowed upon her by her grandfather, the high chief of their village, signifies her duty to uplift and serve her community. Lia hopes to one day return to Samoa and take her rightful place as chief of her people.

Eager to contribute to the representation of Polynesians in Hollywood, Lia Jennings is dedicated to sharing her unique voice and experiences while honoring her rich heritage through her performances.
