S29: Skai Jackson: Reaching for the Mirrorball

Quote

At the age of 18, Skai Jackson has already been named to The Hollywood Reporter's inaugural Top 30 Stars Under 18 List, Variety's Youth Impact Report, been deemed one of TIME Magazine's Most Influential Teens and was listed among EBONY's Power 100 honorees. Jackson became a household name after her starring role as Zuri Ross in the Disney Channel hit series "Jessie" as well as the spinoff series "BUNK'D." Her performance earned Jackson a 2016 NAACP Award nomination in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Youth. Jackson is a passionate advocate for anti-bullying and is quickly becoming a role model for younger generations using her large following to stand up to bullies on social media. She hopes to continue to do so with her first memoir, "Reach for The Skai: How to Inspire, Empower and Clapback," which was released last year.
