‘Pose’ star Dominique Jackson discusses mentoring queer youth of color | Nightline
Jackson said that playing her character Elektra on “Pose” resurfaced personal trauma. The show’s iconic star Billy Porter shared last month that he’s secretly lived with HIV for 14 years.

I've just watched Pose for the first time and Elektra is the best character in the show, and on TV in general, in years! I should add I ADORE the entire cast. They were phenomenal. Elektra just spoke to me more.

She was fantastic
When you consider everything she has been through...her strength, poise, confidence and character is so inspirational. Love her
I learned so much from the beautiful artists who gave us 'POSE'. Such brilliant work and such an important accomplishment that has positively affected the lives of so many!
This show is so important to the young and undiscovered. Thank to the writers!! Actors!!! And all those involved making this possible
I truly love Pose. I can’t even express it enough. I rewatch it almost every month! When im happy and sad or whatever! Truly beautiful!
She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she’s the moment. Come on now.
Having lived through those times I barely got through Season 1 it was so emotional for me, yet I still loved it. I tried watching Season 2 & saw 2 episodes & had to stop it was too intense. Most of the stories are all too relatable. Dominique, Billy & the cast brought the well written scripts to life. I can't imagine what it was like to have to act them out like they did. True professionals, all of them!
This series and their performances were stunning. Each of their stories were riveting. It caught me off guard. Kudos to all of them.
She’s so sweet. Shining so brightly, much deserved.
Live, Werk, Pose !🌈❤️ They deserve all the awards!
She is *phenomenal.*
I need her to portray storm because i know she would do it phenomenally!
I have watched POSE and can only say transgender women are everything...strong, beautiful, they fight...I want her to be my mum. I am no woman let me tell you...I don't know why human specie is so horrible.. I just don't understand...let everyone be!!!!!

I just finished watching this show for the 2nd time ❤ this show was so real and beautiful I remember crying with Pray and Blanca’s characters. I am not queer but I love to hear true stories express my empathy for others. It’s was bittersweet the show came to a end but the way each character truly related to their personal lives thoroughly was beautiful ❤❤ definitely will tune in for a 3rd time down the road for sure 🫶🏽
The audience for this show was EVERYWHERE!!! I'm a straight woman, and I absolutely love this show!!!!
Ms. Dominique, the entire cast directors and producers gave us such a gift with “Pose!!” Every single second of this groundbreaking show gave an emotional educational to the lives of a culture we had no idea existed and most Nee Yorkers ignored. Let me tell you I am this show opened and broke my heart. I laughed , I cried , I fumed, and mostly I learned. I can truly say that “Pose” is one of the most phenomenal shows to grace the screen, period! Live Werk Pose!!!! 🎊 🎉 ❤
She is so iconic I can’t
I LOVE her!!! So elegant and lovely.
Wow this is an incredible interview!!!
I absolutely love this show ! I am a white 52 year old woman. The stories and the relationships of the characters touched my heart

Thank you so much for this show. Blanca is such an inspiration to me. As an older gay Asian leatherman, I strongly feel that I need to give back to my community by helping and mentoring young Asian gay men coming into the kink community.
OMG!!! I Loved a POSE. I’m so Sad to see it end. I Loved Domingue on the Show. She is a Beautiful Soul. I Love her voice. So refined. I loved all of the Characters. This show brings Awareness of what ppl go through. Luckily Electra was Fabulous Character. Sad what ppl put other ppl through. It is a Celebration of ALL HUMANS NO MATTER THEIR CHOICES IN LIFE. Anyone who has been discriminated enough. Ppl need to be KIND TO OTHER PPL. Hope they do a Spin-off. Love you Much.

Thank you to the cast of Pose for the representation of Black/Brown brothers and sisters within the LGBTQ community. ❤️🏳️🌈
I just watched pose for the third time. I love the show and all of the cast members .
Hello Dom, great to see you still yet making history my friend. Much much love from New Orleans and Big Freedia & Friends!!!!!
it’s crazy because as I watched the show I picked up this was not only a reality for a lot of people but it was a reality for the cast members themselfs meaning I felt they had imported personal expieriences into their character
National treasure. Icon. Queen.
I'm in tears ...I'll be back soon to post and actual comment.
She is the SWEETEST omg truly an icon
Love u Billy ur an icon
I’m sorry for the bad memories , God Bless you all , I miss this show 100%
OMG QUEEN MOTHER ELEKTRA! 🤩💖🎊🎉🙆♀️🏳️⚧️ YOU'VE HELPED ME AND COUNTLESS OTHERS IN OUR JOURNEYS! 💖💖💖 BLESS YOUR SWEET SOUL!
You all should check out the reality show Strut. It's about 5 transgender models and a transgender modeling agency. Dominique Jackson is one of the models. It came out before Pose. I knew who Dominique Jackson was before Pose. She was regal and beautiful, on the modeling show., and her cheekbones were to die for! I'm glad that she blew up.
I’ve never seen Pose but after watching this interview I’m def going to check it out.

She is so pretty!!
I give Dominique much credit for reclaiming her faith, and to the directors of Pose that projected ‘family’. At Middle age, I can see how that tenet is lost on some up and coming youth in the community now. This has always been a criticism of older 🏳️🌈 on younger 🏳️🌈 however. At 44 I see how and why that community anger is always such a friction point internally. It is what made Pose such a good series. That friction point was addressed in almost every episode. Privilege was not an option for the characters in that series, and is often not awarded to many LGTBQIA youth (in New York or Anywhere)…..how that dynamic is discussed and projected is so important. Being Trans is not a Musical or a ballroom for many, even if they sing and dance through the struggles. Its a delicate runway to strut. God is good.
💛💚💙💜❤️💛💚💙💜❤️#Pose I hope it will be a start of many shows to Rebirth 💛💚💙💜❤️ because #transgenders been here for centuries 💛💚💙💜❤️
Pose was a fantastic show.
I like what Dominique said about Faith ❤😢
She is beautiful 🤩
omg she is lovely nothing like I was expecting. She is a wonderful actress !
Claimed with positivity ❤️
I think she would a perfect Storm: tall, strong, beautiful.
SHE'S SUCH A CLASSLY LOOKING LADY. THIS IS THE FRIST TIME I EVER SEAN THIS SHOW. i HAD NO IDEA SHE'S TRANS. SHE LOOKS LIKE A REAL WOMAN AND SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I WILL NEVER MEET HER BUT I AM SO HAPPY FOR HER. IF SHE WAS A TEEN IN THE 80S, THEN SHE'S GOTTA BE LIKIE IN HER 50'S NOW OR SOMETHING. sHE LOOKS LIKE SHE 25 AND ATHLETIC! AMAZAING! JUST AMAMZING!
