Jackie Blankenship is the reigning International United Ms. 2026-2027, a speaker, podcast host, and intersex advocate from Michigan.

Born with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), Jackie spent much of her life believing her story had to remain a secret. Today, she has transformed that experience into a platform that reaches millions through social media, public speaking, and her podcast, The Unedited Body. Her mission is to replace fear with understanding by making conversations about sex, biology, and intersex variations accessible, accurate, and approachable.

Before becoming a full-time content creator and advocate, Jackie spent nearly two decades as an award-winning radio and television broadcaster. She now combines her background in media with her passion for education, creating content that has reached millions and has been featured by national outlets including People, Newsweek, Buzzfeed, & The DailyMail.

Jackie has been married to her husband, Jimmy, since 2013 and is the proud mother of their daughter, Greenleigh. A 10-time Boston Marathon qualifier, she believes representation, education, and honest conversation have the power to change lives. During her year as International United Ms., Jackie hopes to visit schools, organizations, and communities across the country, using her crown as a platform to educate, inspire, and advocate for greater understanding, bodily autonomy, and a future where no one feels they have to hide who they are.
