Disney actress and social media star Skai Jackson delivers her story of Hollywood fame in the Gen Z age. Jackson’s plucky delivery lends itself to her empowering messages of self-love, especially in the face of bullies and Internet trolls. Jackson succinctly summarizes her early career and breaks down the day-to-day stresses of being a child actress. Her narration beams with pride when discussing her natural hair and the responsibility of being a role model for young girls of color. Jackson’s New York accent presents itself when she reminisces about her hometown. In contrast to the rest of her narration, her reading of her Top 10 lists is somewhat stilted. Overall, though, Jackson finds her voice in this enjoyable and hopeful work for tween listeners. E.A.N. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
