About

Petty Skai Jackson / Skai Jackson Sitting is a reaction image based on a photograph of American teen actress Skai Jackson sitting primly on a chair. Upon entering circulation via Twitter in April 2016, the image has been used in combination with dialogues or descriptions of social interactions illustrating common acts of pettiness and pretentiousness driven by perfectionism, particularly within the Black Twitter community.
