‘Being Different’
Looking at her now, it’s hard to imagine Jaclyn Stapp being the object of teasing. The Jordanian American stunner has won more than 100 pageant titles, including Mss New York and Mrs. Florida. Growing up, Stapp’s lanky frame and unruly hair earned her the nickname “Wacky Jacky.” Everything changed when she entered her first pageant. While she didn’t win, the experience redefined her outlook. “I realized it’s okay to be different because that’s really what makes you special.” Now a Boca Raton mother of three, Stapp has written a children’s book, Wacky Jacky, and travels the world promoting the book’s message. – Liza Grant Smith
