it's the way she is reading a lot of these influencers. 🌚 but i think the way us "regular" black girls see these "rich" high class black girls should be inspiration, and never be an invitation to want to disregard their hard work bc they. look. like. us. it's not like they hide secrets on how to do it either, they always say "self care, self love." normalize celebrating each other and working to get their ourselves.✨

Also I think that there has to be a way to say that someone who isn’t relatable to you anymore, is just a personal problem… there are creators I’ve followed for 5+ years whose content doesn’t necessarily resonate with me anymore and I’ve unfollowed. And that isn’t a them problem, sometimes you just out grow content as you change and grow as a person. It isn’t a creator’s responsibility to change or stop their growth just because their content doesn’t resonate with some followers anymore.

It seems like an awkward position to be a trailblazer, normalizing KZread greatness and being transparent about how doors have opened for you will allow others to see what is possible in the future for them.

I don't like the "relatability" piece. It comes across as a misery loves company mindset, particularly when it comes to black women. Black women work really hard for their money and deserve nice things just like everyone else. Watching someone else glow-up in real time and be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor should be inspirational, and if it isn't, you need to check your self-esteem.

I think this conversation is so true. I’ve seen it in my own life. Once you become successful people stop relating to you and get “mad” at you for it. I also see some of my favorite influencers go on vacations, go shopping, or buy skincare/makeup for themselves and people hate on them because it’s not drugstore. Or relatable to them. If they had the money they would do it too! Why would you not ? You work to yes save but also buy things for yourself that you like ? I don’t see the problem with that. And I don’t see how it’s anyone else’s business.

I love seeing WOC become successful. What doesn't hit for me is when it becomes "look at my stuff & I'm getting plastic surgery" and then "I need to be honest" follow up videos...don't get lost in the growth. I think too it's become about less consumerism & tiring of seeing the excess - my opinion ✌🏾

Not with money, but with time and self care. You're a part of my journey in growing to be a more confident woman in her own skin. Sending much love!

How are influencers not good enough for the Met but the Khardashians are?????? Secondly, I want my favs (ESPECIALLY my favs that are Black women) to keep growing. Watching someone go from where they started to someplace further is a gift. 💛

Jackie... Miss Aina.... Sis... People are willfully ignorant. I'm slowing learning to accept that you can't win. This reminder is going to fly over so many heads. But imagine how much better off people would be if everyone could just respect the accomplishments of others and be genuinely happy about their growth, perhaps even seeing it as inspiration.

The amount of energy expensed in spewing out hate, negativity etc, only creates more of the same, and leaves anyone caught up in that mire. If the energy is directed at love, positivity, finding even a small iota of goodness in something, the same will be reflected back. 🙏🏾

I hate it when people say "You signed up for this!" No, they didn't. They are allowed to set down their boundaries and react to unhealthy/toxic attention. They are human beings and do not owe strangers a damn thing.

Too many audience members feel entitled to influencers and celebrities as if these human beings are inanimate objects they can own. They don't see how weird, unhealthy and creepy it is. It's like they think they own the success, decisions and lives of complete strangers. I see folks dehumanizing people because they're "successful" or "rich" or "in the public eye" so they asked for it and it's okay. Like come on. Y'all know better. Who raised you? ANYWAYS Lavishly Jackie is such a fun, calming insta. It sits right in my spirit to see Jackie (and Denis) enjoying the fruits of their labour. Discord would be a fun time tbh.

I don’t know how long I’ve been a follower but I’m so freaking happy for all of your success. You’ve changed as far as growth but you’ve always kept it real. Keep doing you Jackie!

This is soo true… its like people will say oh “shes making money now so shes doing too much” cos this influencer is unboxing a prada shoe. But this is the same influencer that use to film her unboxing for zara. Relatability had definitely been focussed more in financial status now

Discord is amazing!!!! You can even create specific chat rooms and do a bunch of cool stuff with it. You should totally start a server! Thanks for sharing this video Jackie! I feel like it’s so nice to watch someone who has boundaries as I find it really hard to set them for myself. Modeling that behavior is really important imho.

Black influencers get swagger jacked and give up. It's sad how black content creators are treated. Bless you all & NEVER GIVE UP!❣💕💕

Really enjoyed this video. As a small black creator seeing the OGs blow up and achieve more is inspiring but also hard when the algorithm just isn't in your favor.

I tell ppl comment interact with ppl who comment on your posts and not just interactions with pretty ppl I tried to and my comment got overlooked so many times I stopped follow a few on Instagram

100% I'm here because I adore watching *you* I went through a makeup youtube phase and you were one of the creators I found and I still watch years later (on a second account) because you're always you and you say what needs to be said.

One thing about Miss. Jackie Aina is she’s going to apply the pressure WHILE creating conversations that are overlooked and tip toe’d around. That’s how you KNOW miss ma’am is going places BEYOND KZread. Too good for this space, as she said ✨💓

Whew? When you said black people need to get on code 🤯🙌🏾 Couldn’t be more true! As a small content creator, I need to be better with supporting other smaller black ones myself! Although the support is not always reciprocated🥴 This video was much needed and you were the best to do it!

I feel like you just taught me a class on to behave better on social media, and I appreciate it so much!

I don’t want to take for granted the amount of emotional work behind the scenes that is necessary to be able to articulate such complex issues in such a clear way. Inspiring is to put it lightly. Thank you 💓

I love what you said here: "why can't you just be the influencer that you want to see.. if you wanna see, why not do it" love this.

Open all the cans of worms!! These are important topics and I’m so grateful there are creators such as yourself who still talk about them and bring them to light 👏🏼♥️

I definitely believe this conversation transcends even KZread just successful black women in general are automatically put in categories it’s so unfortunate instead of celebrating it’s so dog eat dog especially if you don’t have it!!! And the gag is it’s going to change again! Hang in there!

This is such a weird point to be mad at. People get mad when someone draws a line of respect for themselves? I’m 35 and I’ve been blocking people in real life for a long time now.

yes, people do get mad. most influencers aren't very regimented with their boundaries so when someone else is, it's shocking to people who troll. they are used to being ignored. humans are not wired to receive negativity as frequently as we do online, no matter how light hearted it may seem. so when i see nasty stuff in my comments, I create a barrier of protection.

YESS JACKIE, you’ve been such a HUGE influence for me and I appreciate you for creating honest content 🤍

I have been waiting for your response on this and it was thoughtful, transparent, and thorough. I absolutely love how you have remained authentic to your story and who you choose to serve. Keep doing you boo! I am here for it!

I can say from experience when my mom upgraded up her life, even family members were not happy for her. Close family members started to I guess you could say think or feel like she was better than them when she never said or expressed that everything Jackie said I 100% agree with because it’s just the truth.

I am LOVING LavishlyJackie! To see a black woman enjoying luxurious things brings me joy and motivates me to reach that same level. Why be relatable when you can be aspirational? Keep doing great things and don’t let the haters get you down.

Thank you Jackie. I’ve been rocking with you since Lil Pumpkin 05 All I can say is keep doing you keep giving us something to be proud of. Girl to be honest your makeup game is on point and that is why I watch and will continue to do so PERIOD

In this context the relatability thing is about money, plain and simple. It's just a safe way to say that your jealous of someone without saying it out directly. Also, people need to stop telling others to humble themselves once they acquire more wealth than them! One of the definitions of humble is to lower in dignity or importance. So people need to lower their importance to make others feel comfortable? Cool, cool, cool.🙄

I hate this rhetoric of when black creators more especially improve their financial stability and they have better financial means people start saying that they stopped being relatable. My thing is no one would work their butt of for a decade just to stay on the same financial, emotional, mental, spiritual and physical plane like... people grow and as they do, they change and there's nothing wrong with that.

About chapter 2. I'm a white brazilian woman (I'm biracial, but I look white, anyway) and I don't have the money or access to almost all the products u use in your channel, however, I love your content. I learn english by listening u talking, have fun and I learn make-up techniques from you, so even though I can't buy the same products, I learn things and your videos entertain me. I'm so happy that you're succeeding in your field and to see that should see as an inspiring thing. Tks, Jackie.

Jackie, You are truly a motivation! I’m starting my journey as a black female gamer on KZread and one of the things I want to always keep is my authenticity. I definitely agree with healthy boundaries. You need to protect your sanity. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Keep glowing and growing 💕

This video is the reason why I love your content. Your transparency and honesty is refreshing and needed. To me, it doesn’t seem worth it to become a content creator, opening your life to so much scrutiny. The squeeze isn’t worth the juice for me personally. However, I fully support Black women who strike out and choose to do it. Seeing us thrive is a joy even despite the risks you mentioned.

I appreciated your perspective on this. KZread in someway creates a false sense of intimacy between subscribers and creators. The “community” is real but false. Real, in that people can genuinely connect with what you’re creating - false in that the content isn’t always representative of the creator as a whole. Fame and the fight for economic survival creates another level. Sharing and oversharing or conversely under sharing are a delicate balance. Fame and public recognition unfortunately removes some level of privacy. Intimacy without responsibility creates abuse. And then there is growth. There are honestly some influencers I don’t follow anymore because I’m interested in other things. And that’s okay. It’s also okay if someone changes directions. I do think that given many influencers benefit from their audiences economically -there is a certain level of honesty and responsibility that it requires. It also requires understanding for the consumers or content - to realize the benefits and limitations of the form. I enjoy the luxury lifestyle videos, and I’m no where near a luxury budget. TheChicMaven is doing it!

Girl, The Chic Maven is one of my faves.

I love seeing other black woman living the luxury they deserve and the fact that people get MAD over it really boggles my mind

So proud of you Jackie!! Love your content, perspective and products. It’s the fact that you’re authentically yourself for me.

I have been off KZread for a minute but I’m glad this is what came up. You always have an insightful way to speak about issues for darker skinned women and always inspiring. Be the kind of creator you want to see.

I used to get talked about simply because I mind my business and doing well in life. I felt conscious to always make sure I wasn’t “showing off”. When you created lavishlyjackie, it made me comfortable with being successful, being my authentic self and not care about anyone’s opinion. I love nice things and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I started a KZread channel and Instagram page showing my luxurious side. It’s inspiring to see what you have been able to achieve 💕 Keep it coming 👏🏾👏🏾

Jackie you have moved from relatable to aspirational 🙌🏾 I come to you’re page when I’m feeling down or I feel like giving up and I see how you’ve spent 11 years on KZread and you’ve made it! Your definitely on every black woman’s moodboard as a stable of luxury. Not that you have live up to that standard but continue to elevate! ❤️

I’ve been coming back every few weeks to re-watch this to give me perspective and center myself.

I love that you speak your mind in the most elegant way possible. You always say what needs to be said. You will always be one of my favorite OG content creators.

It’s been amazing to see you continue to grow and succeed. It’s so inspirational esp for those who have watched you since almost the beginning to see where you started on KZread and what you’ve built since. I always have said to people “the higher you climb, the more lonely it gets”. It may feel like a bad thing but it’s not because not everyone will want to see you succeed and thrive so only allow space for those cheering you on your way to the top.

I really find the “glow up” that I have seen with influencers VERY inspiring. My aim is to grow with my faves. Thanks for sharing this Jackie, a real eye opener 👌🏾

Loved the discussion on relatability. What I get now from my fave you tubers is more aspirational. I see where you've been and what you guys were able to accomplish now and I'm here for all of the content that comes along with your growth and success. Stan you Jackie❤ an articulate multi talented queen 👑😘

"Content based on authenticity vs relatability". Very true. Thats why I love your content.

Jackie! I started watching Octavia B I think she was recommended based on me watching your videos. She’s a younger chocolate brown woman on KZread that has a very luxurious type of aesthetic in my opinion. I never realized until you said it that her videos as well as yours are very very much an escape from my day to day life as a medical social worker in the pandemic. Also, you’re a wealth of knowledge about so many things like self care, the beauty industry, content creation, etc. Thank you for sharing! I could listen to you talk ALL DAY!
