True Jackson VP: Season 1 Volume 1
This series has an awesome main character who is a role model for all girls, especially those wanting to be in the executive workplace! True Jackson (Keke Palmer) is a fifteen year old girl. While selling sandwiches inside a fashion agency for a summer job, the owner of Mad Style!, a huge fashion label, walks by and compliments True on her clothing. The owner and president, Mr. Madigan, is played by Greg Proops, who is just the right mix of goofy and eccentric to pull it off.
True explains that her clothes are actually his design, but with a few
of her personal touches. She loves to rework clothes she buys at the
store to make them even better. The next thing she knows, she is in
charge of the Youth Department as Vice President, making her the youngest
executive in the history of the company!
With cool perks such as her own office, which she gets to design herself,
and a remote-controlled wall that opens to reveal a fridge and TV,
True is living her dream. But then she meets her co-workers.
True
is a loveable character. She is sweet and determined, firing her assistant
so her best friend can fill the spot. At first, True is bullied by her
coworkers because she’s so young. True feels intimidated, but then
she realizes that her position is just like high school, with cliques
and cattiness and all. When True gains confidence in herself and
also the courage to voice her opinions, she changes the company for the
better. Her creative ideas with colors and patterns and unique touches
bring life to boring designs.
One really cool part of the show is the set. Most shows take place in
schools or houses. Because True works at a fashion company, we get
to see runway shows, models, and tons of clothes and fashion. This ‘summer
job’ shows us what it might be like in the fashion industry.
Along the way, True has a few love interests and many hilarious moments
which are really fun to watch!
True
Jackson shows that you can be a real friend and a fun-loving teenager
while also being part of a huge corporation. She remains herself
and never gets caught up in the rush or stress of the fashion world. Because
of this, it is easy to see why she is named ‘True’. Through
it all, she remains ‘true’ to herself and to her friends.
She is a great reminder that we can do anything we put our minds to!

The show is awesome!! I don't watch it very much, but when I do it always
surprises me! It is so good, but the True Valentine episode ended kinda
crappy.

For me, True Jackson isn't just like your usual children/teen show. It
shows a girl trying to make it in the fashion business. It gives out
the message to never give up. I think it will inspire a lot of other
people to chase their dreams!

I think it is pretty funny, but sometimes it gets a little boring. It
is not my favorite show, but I still like it.

I think that True Jackson VP can be and is a very inspiring show to those
in key with fashion, like me. I also enjoy the fragments of funny comments
that appear a lot throughout the show. I think that this show has a lot
to come that may pull in a new crowd.

I really love the show. It is so awesome. I can't wait to see if True
and Jimmy finally get together.
