APPLE VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Desreta Jackson—best known for her iconic role as young Celie in Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple—is returning to the national spotlight with The Desreta Jackson Show, premiering this fall. Produced by Desicon Pictures, the show aims to spark transformative conversations around mental health, personal healing, and legacy-building during a time when these issues are more urgent than ever.
Jackson is not only an acclaimed actress but also a third-generation natural healer, a certified trichologist, a published author, and a real estate developer. She brings a unique blend of wisdom, life experience, and professional expertise to the screen. Her show will feature authentic and emotionally grounded conversations with real people, subject-matter experts, and public figures. Topics will cover a wide range, including generational trauma, spiritual and emotional wellness, entrepreneurship, rebuilding relationships, reclaiming self-worth, and legacy planning.
“Coming from poverty, abuse, homelessness, and even childhood paralysis, I understand the silent burdens many people carry,” Jackson says. “This show is my way of saying: your healing matters, your story matters, and you are not alone.”
Mental health continues to be a national crisis in America. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 1 in 5 adults lives with a mental illness. The impact spans all racial and ethnic groups:
- 23% of Native American/Alaska Native adults
- 21.4% of multiracial adults
- 20.6% of white adults
- 18.6% of Black adults
- 18.4% of Hispanic/Latino adults
- 16.2% of Asian adults
Despite these numbers, access to care remains limited, particularly in underserved communities. Jackson’s mission is to eliminate stigma, encourage open dialogue, and promote radical transparency on topics that are often overlooked.
In addition to her acting and healing work, Jackson is the founder of BlackSilk, a wellness and haircare brand inspired by ancestral traditions.
Episodes will spotlight emotionally charged viewer questions—particularly from single men and women ages 25–50—on topics like trust, abandonment, trauma recovery, and self-discovery. Celebrity guests, licensed therapists, and spiritual leaders will join Jackson to explore what real healing looks like.
The Desreta Jackson Show is filmed in Chino Hills, California, and will premiere this fall via YouTube and Patreon, offering global audiences free and exclusive access to life-changing conversations.
