Gabourey Sidibe

Clareece “Precious” Jones is an overweight, illiterate African-American teen in Harlem. Just as she’s about to give birth to her second child, Jones is accepted into an alternative school where a teacher helps her find a new path in her life. It’s still not a fun film to watch, but it’s worth watching to see real struggles protrayed in such an authentic story by excellent actors who nail their parts.
