Jackson joined the Disney Channel cast upon landing her role in Jessie, followed by its spinoff sequel, Bunk’d. Although the latter only lasted for one year on the air, the New York City native still keeps in touch with her former co-stars, she pointed out during an April 2024 interview with E! News.
“I feel like we’re all living different types of lives. A lot of us don’t even live in the same state, so it’s hard to see each other,” Jackson explained, before adding, “But they’re doing so many amazing, great things that I’m really proud of them. We definitely check up on each other.”
As for the overall experience starring in Jessie, Jackson described it as a “great experience.”
“I got to learn a lot being in the industry at a young age, being able to have opportunities I feel like probably the average kid wouldn’t be able to,” she noted. “My mom, she’s always kept me humble. All my friends always keep me humble and that’s really important. I feel like when you have that great support system, you cannot go wrong.”
