Jahkara Smith (born September 5, 1996)[2][3] is an American YouTuber and actress. She is best known for the YouTube channel Sailor J, where she published parody make-up tutorial videos. She came to further recognition for her starring role as Margaret "Maggie" Leigh in the AMC supernatural horror drama series NOS4A2 (2019–2020). She also appeared in the Hulu horror anthology series Into the Dark (2019).
Smith began posting YouTube videos in 2017 on her channel Sailor J while working at a United States Air Force base. Her first videos were parodies of make-up tutorial videos which include social commentary, having been inspired by sexist comments she read on those videos. They quickly went viral thanks, in part, to celebrities such as Sia sharing them.[4] Within the first month of her YouTube channel, Smith was receiving around 10,000 new subscribers per day on YouTube and had totalled 6 million views on Facebook.[4][5] By March 2018, her YouTube videos had received over 10 million views.[6]
Her tutorial videos have included commentary on subjects ranging from Native American-inspired make-up to the phrase "thoughts and prayers".[4][7] In addition to make-up tutorial videos, Smith has also published videos on subjects including Harry PotterHogwarts Houses[8] and Zodiac signs.[9] Audio and video clips from the Sailor J channel later went viral on TikTok, which Smith did not support.[10]
In July 2020, Smith confirmed the deletion of her YouTube channel.[11]
