Halcyon [ hal - see- uh n]

kids

My favorite season has arrived. Pumpkin spice and apple cider for the next few months. Though I will admit that I can do pumpkin spice flavor anything year round.

Once September is here I start looking for the Marie Callender’s Pumpkin pie at my local grocery store. A warm piece of pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is how most of my evenings end. I love how the temperature drops just enough for us to enjoy the breeze and taking walks without feeling like your skin is melting off. I’m so happy that is it Fall and I’m even happier for you to see this issue. I’m so impressed with all the talent in this issue. The contributors really outdid themselves. When you have a spare minute find these artist and follow them on social media. Leave some love on their sites. I hope everyone enjoys the next few months as much as I will. Stay safe and remember to be kind.

Your favorite Fall accessory?

My favorite fall accessory is a cute patterned scarf. It keeps you warm and it looks like a great fashion piece!

What is your fashion tip for your everyday teen, shopping on a budget?

Try going to thrift stores. They have the cutest clothes, and can be very affordable! I’ll even go there to buy some pieces and make my own outfits by dying it or cutting it up.

Favorite home-cooked meal?

My favorite home cooked meal would have to be my grandmother’s jerk chicken and collard greens.

What are the 5 top songs on your playlist?

My top 5 songs on my playlist are 1Night -Lil Yachty, 30 hours - Kanye West, Same Ol’ Mistakes - Rihanna, Look Alive - Rae Sremmurd and No Flocking - Kodak Black Which book have you read, that you would recommend every teen should read?

I just finished reading “Of Mice And Men.” It’s such a good book (it’s kinda sad), but it’s one of my favorite books.

If someone went to your instagram feed @skaijackson what are 3 things they would learn about you?

They would learn that I travel a lot, I’m adventurous and I love food haha!

If you support a cause, what is that cause? And how can others get involved?

One cause I do support is No Kid Hungry. I think their organization is fantastic! The campaign connects kids in need with nutritious food and teaches their families how to cook healthy, affordable meals. It also engages the public to make ending child hunger a national priority. www.nokidhungry.org

Gabe Eggerling is quickly making a name for himself with buzz-worthy acting roles and philanthropic contributions. Gabe stars as tech-driven and talented photographer, “Bailey Burke” in Amazon’s original series The Kicks. The August 26th release of the soccer comedy is based on Olympic gold medalist soccer star, Alex Morgan’s New York Times bestselling YA book series.

The versatile actor has expanded his talents to include animation voiceover work. He voices the title role of “Jake” in Disney Junior’s hit series Jake and the Never Land Pirates, “Fluke” in Sofia the First, as well as Princess Jasmine’s pet elephant “Taj” in Whisker Haven Tales with the Palace Pets. Other animated lead roles include The Weinstein’s films Santa’s Apprentice and The Trick or Treaters.

Off screen, Gabe is an avid reader, a member of Mensa and John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.
