The Wonderful Jackie Steele

Jackie Steele

In this profile series, Revry is highlighting authentic contributors to the LGBTQ media and entertainment community. We ask questions to find out who they are and where they are going in the future. The questions remain the same but the answers tell their unique story. It’s time to explore and celebrate true representation beyond the limits of Hollywood.

What are you best known for?

Being relentlessly pro-Queer and fighting anti-queerness in every space I’m in. But content wise, probably being featured in Buzzfeed.

What was your first professional job?

The first professional gig I hosted (so not my 7th grade Madonna-thon) was season host/MC for the WNBA team CT Sun.

What are you working on that no one knows about yet?

A documentary…I can’t give too much away but it centers on a specific area of systemic abuse, service provider & system failure to women (and women identified).
