After a successful two weeks following the launch of her business, “I am so excited for what’s ahead with Mimi JAX Collection,” she said. “I just launched my website April 3,” Jackson added. “I’m completely online. I’m offering women’s apparel.” With her young spirit, “I love to dress, maybe, in a way that makes me feel younger,” she said. “I don’t ever want to be defined by my age, and I want to inspire other women to do that. “I want them to be confident, to choose different clothing styles than what they’ve worn before,” Jackson added. “So, while I obviously run in circles of women of my same age, my boutique is geared to women of 18 to 75.
