Trivia[]
- She is the third queen of Middle Eastern descent after Shangela, who is half Saudi Arabian and Aja, who is half Egyptian.
- Coincidentally, both Jackie and Shangela share the same name out of drag, Darius.
- She was born in Canada, meaning she's the third Canadian queen to compete in the franchise after Brooke Lynn Hytes and Crystal.
- Jackie was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but spent most of her childhood between British Columbia, California (US), and Ontario.
- Before Drag Race, Jackie appeared on a segment of What Would You Do, along with Monét X Change.
- The two of them were the third and fourth queens to appear on the show, after Carmen Carrera and Mimi Imfurst.
- Jackie is the oldest queen to compete on Season 12, being 34 years old at the filming of the show.
- Jackie holds the record for the most high placements in a single season without winning a challenge, having placed in the top a total of six times.

- She also has an impressive 3 mini-challenge wins, despite not winning a Maxi challenge.
- Every time Jackie lip-synced for her life and wasn't eliminated, Jaida Essence Hall won the Maxi challenge.
- Despite the fact that her mother holds American citizenship, she herself holds Canadian citizenship while having a green card, making her ineligible to vote in the United States.
- In EW's Binge Podcast, Jackie has officially been chosen as the "trade of the season", by Jaida Essence Hall and Crystal Methyd.
- As Jackie knew there was a possibility to do an advertising challenge on Season 12, she designed another concept prior filming: "Snackie Cox: The Jackie Box"[3] a snack subscription box with five products:
- "Just the Tip" Jackie's Crunchy Nail Chips (For the girl on the go. When you're hungry, you can just eat your nails! Just 96 calories per serving)[4]
