Tiffany Jackson is a powerhouse mom on a mission — and it all started with her daughter, Daijah.
At just four years old, Daijah was diagnosed with autism. Since then, Tiffany has been navigating the journey with love, laughter, and a whole lot of heart. Inspired by her daughter’s vibrant personality (her nickname is Daisi, by the way), Tiffany founded Change The World For You, a non-profit dedicated to helping children on the spectrum and their families thrive.
One of the biggest sparks behind this mission? Tiffany’s new book, inspired by Daijah’s first menstrual cycle — a topic that isn’t often talked about, especially in the autism community. But Tiffany knew there had to be a better way to prepare other parents and kids for this moment. So she created something real, helpful, and rooted in love.
“I don’t want other parents to have to be a deer in headlights like I was,” Tiffany shared with us.
The book doesn’t just cover the basics — it includes a sensory chart and communication board to help non-verbal kids express how they’re feeling. It’s a game-changer for kids like Daijah… and for families trying to figure it all out in real time.
Alisha B, whose younger brother is also on the spectrum, said it best:
“I love your soul, Tiffany. You are such a gem.”
But Tiffany isn’t stopping at the book. She’s bringing the love to the community too! Coming up on April 19, Change The World For You is hosting a tennis clinic in partnership with another autism-focused athletic club. Daijah will be out there learning the sport (and looking fabulous — she’s been named best dressed two years in a row!).
And if you love a good glam night out, there’s also a black-tie fundraiser gala coming soon — and yes, Daijah will be showing out in her own style. As Tiffany said:
“She can do whatever she wants — she’s a star.”
What has Daijah taught her mom? Two things: patience and acceptance.
“The goal isn’t to change our kids for the world… it’s to change the world for them.”
We couldn’t love that more.
