The next generation of Jacksons

Hi everyone!


The whole world knows about the legendary musical group The Jacksons 5, now called The Jacksons, but what people may not know is that their children are taking their first steps into the entertainment industry.

In this post, I am going to tell you what some of the younger members of the Jackson family are getting up to.


Taj, Taryll and TJ Jackson
The three sons of Tito Jackson have been in the music industry for many years now. They formed a band called 3T and released their debut album Brotherhood in 1995. Their latest release was in May, an album called Chapter III. Taj, Taryll and TJ also do work for the Dee Dee Jackson Foundation which honours their mother who died in 1994 and helps people who are dealing with loss and grief.

Prince is continuing the work his father did with the Heal the World foundation. He worked as a guest correspondent for Entertainment Tonight and has produced music videos.

Jaafar Jackson
Jaafar made his on-stage debut at an event last December singing The Christmas Song with his father Jermaine and brother Jermajesty. He launched his own music on 27th October at a special event at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. You can watch videos of his performance on YouTube, at this channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITg2mbBIq80 and watch red carpet interviews by Ky Primo here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl6AoiMqkys

Jermajesty Jackson
As I said above, Jermajesty performed at the Christmas event with his father and brother. He has an amazing voice and could soon start his career in music.

Donte Jackson
Donte, who was adopted by Joe and Katherine Jackson and raised by Jermaine's ex-wife and Jaafar and Jermajesty's mother Alejandra since he was 2, is an author and his first published children's book, Herbie Vore the Dinosaur,went on sale in August. I'm hoping to buy a copy soon. When I do, I will write a review.

The next generation of Jacksons are following in their famous parents, aunts and uncles footsteps and doing amazing things. I have added their Instagram usernames so you can follow them if you want to keep updated. As a huge Jackson fan, I definitely will be!

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
