Happy Jackie Washington Day! Reminder: Don’t Do Laundry!
Every July 15 is Jackie Washington Day!
Wait… you don’t know who Jackie Washington is? She’s a fictional R&B diva played by the phenomenal Jenifer Lewis in the star-studded 1999 Lifetime mockumentary Jackie’s Back. The mockumentary film is about Jackie’s comeback after years in obscurity.
The film, although a Lifetime television movie, has become a cult classic… mostly because Jenifer Lewis killed it!
According to the film, beginning in 1984, every July the 15th was considered Jackie Washington Day, a day to honor the diva in her hometown of Kinloch, Missouri.
So, since it’s July 15, let’s celebrate all things Jackie Washington with the following videos.
