Dominique Jackson (born Dominique Brebnor on March 20, 1975) is a Tobagonian-American actress, author, model, and reality television personality. She is a prominent figure in the LGBTQ+ community and is best known for her groundbreaking and critically acclaimed role as Elektra Abundance-Evangelista-Wintour on the FX television series "Pose." The series, set in the 1980s and 90s New York City ball culture, gave Jackson a platform to star in a show featuring the largest cast of transgender actors for a scripted network series. Jackson moved to the United States at age 15 after a traumatic upbringing in Tobago, where she faced rejection and persecution as a transgender woman. She has utilized her experiences to become a powerful advocate and activist, working with non-profit organizations that support the LGBTQ+ community. As a model, Jackson has walked in major fashion events and appeared in publications like Vogue España. Beyond Pose, her television appearances include a hosting role on the reality competition show "Legendary," and a part as Ms. World in the third season of "American Gods."
