Jean gets to bring her real-life culture to the screen: she and her character Dom both are from Haitian-American families. Jean is first-generation herself, and she told Teen Vogue, she wanted to make them proud. "When we find out that there is a Haitian character on TV, I'm telling you, we're all tuning in and hoping for the best... I just remember always feeling proud and always talking to [costars Magaly Colimon and Sajine Sémajuste] about how crazy it is that a Haitian family on a Netflix show is legit Haitian, and that we already felt like a family."
