The New Normal

IV SWAGHER FALL 2020
Full Apology and Retraction
to Terricina Jackson From
Francheska Felder and SwagHer
Magazine
SwagHer Magazine, and I, Francheska
“Fancy” Felder, sincerely apologize
for the erroneous and unacceptable
statement made against Terricina Jackson in
SwagHer Magazine’s recent, Unapologetic
Issue.
In our feature of Ms. Jackson’s story titled,
“Terricina Jackson Reveals What Healing
From Trauma Looks Like” (Felder,
Francheska. “Terricina Jackson Reveals
What Healing From Trauma Looks Like”
SwagHer Magazine, November 2019. 53-57.
Print), I wrote,
I had no idea when she caught my eye as
the owner of Respect the Queen, that she
was molested by her babysitter at the age of
four; began an incestuous relationship with
her younger brother at the age of nine; battled
alcoholism beginning in her teens; been
gang-raped also in her teens; and later battled
alcoholism again, along with a cocaine
addiction in her early twenties; before facing
drug trafficking charges, and going through
court-ordered programs.
However, Terricina has not ever battled with
cocaine addiction, as she has reached out to
me (Francheska Felder) personally and cor-
rected me.
Ms. Jackson was oblivious to the false statement
made on her behalf. She wasn’t given
the opportunity to review the article prior to
it being published. Although, she has been
more than candid about her life’s story her
brand, as well as her image, is of the utmost
importance to both parties.
While this unfounded statement was not
made with cruel or malicious intention but
in error, I understand the seriousness of the
matter and would like to publicly acknowledge
this mistake, retract it, and we/SwagHer
Magazine will be updating future and digital
issues on our platforms and print (if further
prints are ordered).
I take pride in telling the stories of others and I
only do so to uplift and educate, so I wouldn’t
ever want to inaccurately share someone’s
stories. Personally, Terricina’s story is one of
my favorite pieces, so it saddens me as a journalist
that this happened, and I wish Terricina
nothing but the best in the future.
Sincerely,
Francheska “Fancy” Felder
