As take-no-prisoners Elektra in Pose, Dominique Jackson might have us shaking in our boots...but in reality she's a beam of light who likes to reminds us all of our beauty and worth.
She's a boss on the show and in real life, too, but with a (much) softer side. We're lucky to have her, which she proves with wise Dominique-isms that include:
1. Delivering self-love and empowerment affirmations to grow by.
2. Advocating for trans people with simple truths everyone can understand.
3. Standing boldly and honestly, so that others are inspired to do the same.
4. Advocating for the strength and equality of women.
WOMEN STANDING UP TO BULLS#!% 🥰🥰🥰🥰 HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY WE CAN DO AND BE WHAT AND WHO WE DESIRE TO BE ! WE ARE DESERVING OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND FAIR! #INMYTRUTH
5. Reminding us that we are each beautiful just as we are.
6. Celebrating the power of a "chosen family."
7. Stepping into big-deal issues fearlessly, for the benefit of her community and beyond.
8. Believing in the healing power of Mother Nature.
9. Recognizing that boredom is a bore, and we don't have to take it!
So after I did the bored in the house I realized I had to make the best of things so I found the hottest track out @theestallion and got these old bones moving! #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #AloneTogether
(Also, that dancing always lifts the spirits.)

11. Promoting trans visibility with joy and love on Pose and beyond.
12. Delivering Elektra's harshest truths like she's talking about the weather.
13. This one too.
14. When she was afraid Elektra's bitchiness would make people hate her.
15. The way she can own a room like no. one. else.
16. Being a fan of the Saints.
17. Showing that even the most superhuman-seeming person is susceptible to burnout, and that self-care is necessary for being your best!
18. Championing the idea that we're all big kids who can snuggle stuffies if we want to.
19. Going on House Hunters with her fiancé.
