Skai Jackson Reveals How Her New Book 'Reach For The Skai' Came About

Skai Jackson steps out in a cute plaid dress while arriving for her appearance on Today in New York City on Thursday (October 4).

The 17-year-old actress is making her rounds promoting her new book, “Reach For The Skai”.

“The idea for ‘Reach for the Skai’ started with a conversation I had with a family friend. He said ‘You know what, you should somehow tell your story. You and your mom have a story to tell for sure.’ I was like, ‘Hmm, how can I do that?’” Skai revealed in an interview with StyleCaster.

She added that putting her story in book form came that same night.

“It was something that I was a little scared of doing, but I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to jump all in it and I’m so excited,’” Skai shared. “I told my team about it and it kind of just happened like overnight. We got my book publishers involved right after that. It was over a year process, but it was an amazing journey and now the book is here.”
