My friend is a jacktress. She’s a barista, a painter, and a part-time DJ. People laughed at her until she painted the whole town and dropped a beat that made everyone dance.

My neighbor is a jacktress. She’s a nurse, a mechanic, and a wrestler. People laughed at her until she healed a broken bone and pinned the gym coach in one match.

My mom is a jacktress. She’s a baker, a teacher, and a part-time painter. People laughed at her until she baked the best pie and painted the whole school.
