Gina Torres

Apart from Meghan Markle and Sarah Rafferty, there is one more powerful lady in the series Suits and its spin-off, Pearson. That person is Gina Torres, playing the role of lawyer Jessica Pearson, managing partner and co-founder of Pearson Specter Litt. She has also appeared in South of Pico, Jam, and The Matrix Reloaded. The Serenity star has worked extensively with her husband, Laurence Fishburne, on several projects.

Torres serves as an inspiration to many because she took a risk when she started acting. When she was just studying acting, the actress lacked the finances to pursue a career in the industry, but despite that, she persevered and dove straight into becoming a celebrity. It was a calculated yet risky move that proved to be for the better. This shows that having no money is not a hindrance but could even be a motivation to be successful.
