Her Twitter Fingers Are Out of Control - We all saw the tweets she unleashed on rapper (and bully) Azealia Banks, especially when she said her memes are more relevant than Bank’s career. Ouch.

She Can Laugh at Herself - When the teen posted a photo of herself waiting in a greenroom to be interviewed on Instagram, it went viral, becoming a hilarious meme. While she could have taken it personally, Jackson instead chose to laugh at herself, even joining in on the fun by posting some memes of herself on her own social media. (Photo: Skai Jackson via Twitter)

She’s Been Working Since Birth...Literally  - OK, maybe not straight out of her mother’s womb, but Skai has been in the business since she was 9 months old, working on more than 30 commercials and numerous films and TV shows, including Disney's Jessie, before her new show on the channel, Bunk'd.

She’s a Great Role Model - With so many negative perceptions about Black girls in our media, it’s really amazing to see Jackson enjoying girlhood, not being over-sexualized and conveying positive messages to girls who look up to her. (Photo: JB Lacroix/WireImage)
