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 corrected 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
