In recent years, the star, who is best known for playing Zuri Ross on Jessie and its spinoff Bunk’d, released her book, Reach for the Skai: How to Inspire, Empower and Clapback in 2019 and appeared on Dancing With the Stars in 2020.

While she was preparing to become a mother, Jackson bonded with her mom, Kiya Cole, who raised the actress as a single mother.

“[My mom] always taught me to stand up for myself, stand up for what I believe in and fight for what is right,” she told PEOPLE in February 2023. “I thank her for that because without her, I probably wouldn’t have a lot of the confidence that I do now.”
