Since childhood, Trevor Jackson has been acting in projects like Criminal Minds, Hit the Floor, Burning Sands and currently on Grown-ish.
On the Freeform show, Jackson plays Aaron Jackson, a sophomore college student with a passion for activism. While he’s protesting and romancing Yara Shahidi’s character, Zoey Johnson, Jackson is looking super stylish—much like the actor in real life.
For our March 2018 issue, the 21-year-old talks to us about his fresh approach to fashion.
