Is “NOS4A2’s” ‘Maggie,’ Jahkara Smith, a member of the LGBTQ+ community?

Many fans are aware that Jahkara Smith, 23, plays a queer character in the TV series “NOS4A2,” but many are unaware that she identifies as bisexual in real life.

Yes, Jahkara is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. In a July 2019 interview with Tripwire, she revealed that she is bisexual. She went on to say that the director of the TV show “NOS4A2” was unaware of her sexuality when he cast her as the gay character Maggie.

Perhaps because Jahkara can completely relate to Maggie’s character, she played the role realistically, which increased Maggie’s popularity among fans. It also explains Smith’s strong support for the protection of minorities rights. She frequently uses her celebrity to speak out against bullying, bias in the YouTube beauty community, anti-trans and LGBTQ bias, and other issues.

Kevin Smith and I are happily married.

Given that Jakhara is still in her early twenties, many of her fans may be surprised to learn that she is married. In fact, her husband’s surname is Smith. She is happily married to Kevin Smith, an Air Force officer.

Smith has yet to reveal the specifics of her wedding, but it is clear that she married before May 2018. In a 2018 interview with the New York Times, the young starlet discussed her husband. Furthermore, while Jakhara has not revealed her and her partner’s love story, given that she is an Air Force vet, it is very likely that their love blossomed during their military service.

Not only that, but the Smiths have kept their marital life private. They rarely go to public events together and never post photos of themselves on social media.

Tattoos and Their Interpretation

When you see Jahkara, you can’t help but notice the ink on her body, especially the three roses that run from her collarbone to her left shoulder. These three roses represent her three siblings, who remained by her side through the ups and downs of her life.

Another noticeable tattoo on her body is Arabic writing on her left arm. She has suffered, she has learned, and she has thus changed, according to an Arabic proverb. She also has tattoos on the back of her ear, hand, and thigh, in addition to these two.

I joined the military to make money.

The native of Missouri grew up without a stable home or income. As a result, after graduating from high school, she decided against attending college because she could not afford the tuition. She also kept in mind that having a college degree does not guarantee a stable job in the future.

As a result, at the age of nineteen, she decided to join the military because it provided her with a guaranteed paycheck. She worked as a jet mechanic at a Florida Air Force base. A US Air Force Aircraft Mechanic’s salary ranges from $20,410 to $84,474.

Getting Famous on YouTube

Smith missed work on October 24, 2017, due to illness. While resting at home, she began using social media and came across some derogatory tweets about women and how they should present themselves.

She decided to make a parody video about makeup and the rising trend of a beauty guru in response to those tweets. She grabbed her camera and shot a satirical video titled Getting A Man 101, which she then posted on her YouTube channel Sailor J. The video quickly went viral, with thousands of views per day. The video has received over 2.2 million views as of February 2020.

Though Smith had never imagined herself as a YouTuber, the overwhelmingly positive response from her fans encouraged her to continue making videos. She began uploading content about the various issues she wanted to address while still in the army. She also created amusing videos about zodiac signs and Harry Potter houses.

Jahkara was initially consistent in uploading new videos, but as time passed, the frequency of the videos began to decrease. Her lack of content began to frighten her fans all over the world. People began to wonder if she had left the video-sharing platform.

Thankfully, YouTube Star addressed her situation and reassured her fans on July 26, 2018. She stated that she is not leaving YouTube, but rather taking a break. She also admitted that she currently has nothing to share in terms of content. She also stated that she is dissatisfied with the YouTube Platform due to its attitude toward trans content creators.

Nonetheless, before concluding her video, she shared the happy news that she had passed the audition for a television series and would be seen on a small screen soon.

Smith had not posted a new video since her July 26 video as of February 2020. She doesn’t appear to be in any hurry to return to YouTube.

Moving on to Television and Movies
