Dominique Jackson has taken on an out of this world new role. Premiering Saturday, May 13that 10 a.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network, Jackson will guest star on a special episode of We Baby Bears titled Little Fallen Star.

Jackson is an author, model, and actress best known for her roles in the Emmy, Golden Globe, and GLAAD Media Award winning series Pose and the GLAAD Media Award nominated series The Book of Queer.

This episode will follow the bears as they travel up into space to uncover the origin of their mysterious magic box. Along the way, they are introduced to none other than the queen of the galaxy and her power-hungry sister, Cassi, who is voiced by Jackson. While on this mission, they find themselves entangled in a cosmic struggle for the universe.

In the clip, Jackson plays a fabulous villain with hopes of ensuring immortality. After noticing some crows feet in her selfie, Cassi reveals she must drain every star in order to maintain her smooth skin.

That lady aint right, one of the bears exclaims. Shes seeking eternal life at the cost of others. Another bear shakes their head and replies, Classic villainy.

"My role as Cassi was really fun, but was also a reminder that everyone could tell stories despite their gender identification or sexual orientation!" Jackson said about her experience on the show."Im very fortunate to have had this experience, especially when many are pushing for my communitys eradication by saying we are dangerous. Throughout the whole experience, I wasnt really thinking that I was a person of trans identification telling a story to children Im just me! I saw myself providing entertainment and a message that love and care are very important guides to being good human beings, knowing that we should respect everyone and show compassion for those in need of support."
