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.
