Shericka Jackson is one of the most notable track and field athletes and has won numerous accolades throughout her distinguished career. She is the fifth fastest woman in the 100m and second fastest in the 200m after the legendary American track star Florence Griffith Joyner.

During an interview with the Olympics in 2024, she shared her thoughts on her childhood journey, highlighting the instability she faced during that time. She mentioned:

“I felt like I never had enough to be a child, I felt like I was older than a child moving around, being here for a little while, there for a little while. So, I believe that’s one of the reasons I’m very aggressive even today.”

She continued:

“It plays out good sometimes and bad. If you see me and don’t know me personally you would not want to approach me. It is good, and it is bad but now I’m in a better space where I’m not so aggressive. I can be but I think I’m a better grown-up now.”

Jackson also won the gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in the 400m race and the silver medal in the 200m at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
