My birth name is Jacqueline. You know me by Jackie. I am equally feisty, compassionate, quick to cry and quick to protect those I love. I don't do BS and will drop you at the hint of insincerity. #NoQuestionsAsked I’m not a cool kid but my seat at the #SincerityTable is well earned. I love a good party as much as a Netflix binge night. I’m obsessed with style understanding that it has nothing to do with money or a person’s character. I’m determined to make a difference in this world and wake up each damn day trying to figure it out. I am committed to fitness & wellness because I plan to still be two-stepping at 100 years old. Mediocrity is never ever the goal but I’m not afraid to fail because failure doesn't exist. We either win or we learn. My unresolved complexities is where I find strength!
