LAKISHA JONES

"Lakisha (pictured at age 4) always wanted to perform and dress up as different characters," says her mother, Beverly Jefferson. "And she loved school." Though story time was a thrill, Jones wasn't keen on one classroom activity: "She never wanted to nap," says Mom. Jones, 27, still doesn't sleep much: Thanks to the time difference between L.A. and her native Michigan, Jones makes sure to call her daughter Brionne, 4, "at 3:30 every morning."
