Paris Jackson is the only daughter of the late pop star Michael Jackson. She has grown up in the public eye, with everyone watching her every move. The actress, model, and singer, who is 25 years old, recently made a strong statement about who she is by saying that she happily identifies as a black woman, even though she is mixed-race.
Paris’s journey to find herself is deeply rooted in what her father left behind. Michael Jackson, who was known as “The King of Pop,” was happy to be black and taught his kids how important it was to love their heritage. “Be proud of your roots,” her father told her, and Paris has taken those words to heart.
The public didn’t see Paris or her brothers, Prince and Bigi, when they were kids because their father hid them with blankets, masks, and covers. But after Michael Jackson died in 2009, the siblings were thrust into the public eye and were constantly watched by the media.
Even though she has had problems, Paris has grown into a strong, proud young woman who doesn’t hide the fact that she is black. Being proud of her black background and honouring her father’s legacy is what made her choose to identify as black. Paris is still figuring out who she is, but she is still dedicated to honouring her father’s roots and legacy, both in her music and in her life.
