Tameka Jacobs (born on October 29, 1979, in French Camp, California) is a model, actress, and photographer. At an early age, Tameka was once adopted by a Ms. Mary Brown, until angry officials in San Joaquin County opposed due to the fact that Tameka was half & half (½ black & ½ white), and she ended up in the custody of an African-American family. That did not stop her, however, from studying ballet, tap & jazz, and they ended up giving her enrollment to classes in acting, modeling, and public speaking. She had a nice stint in radio offering traffic & morning news reports, which led to her appearing in music videos, magazines & commercials. Then in 2005, 26-year-old Tameka Jacobs became case model #21, one of the 26 lovely ladies on NBC's Deal or No Deal.
