Ingrid Jean-Baptiste started modeling and acting at the age of 2 years old in Paris, where she was born and raised, studied History at La Sorbonne University, before she embarked on a  journalism career in Paris and Los Angeles. 

In 2012, she was victim of a car crash that involved 7 other people, in which Ingrid had 7 broken ribs and a fractured spine. While recovering from this traumatic accident, Ingrid thought about creating a platform that would be a space to raise awareness about our world's pressing issues. It has become the Chelsea Film Festival, which has recently been selected in the Top 10 Best Film Festivals in North America (ranking #6) by USA Today in March 2019.
