“What must be done.”

in need of growth

America has had a lot of social strife over the recent years. But the question that must be asked is, where is the innovation or an invention. We are creating in this country, even when looking at education. So many young people are going to college for political science degrees. But very few engineers or people in the medical field. And I know it has a lot to do with the current administration in power in the White House. But if we as a society don’t innovate with the social tension, then we are going to spiral. Not today, but over time the country will economically degrade. This is a test site, America, for other nations in dealing with sociopolitical issues.

bye to competition

In the age of every kid gets a trophy, we are not forcing out greatness. We should put kids in a position to be vulnerable. That lose and that vulnerability will push out innovation. Because innovation has always come from places where the person or people have their back against the wall. We need to take this something for nothing mentality and switch it to something for something. And if that means making a few radical adjustments to the landscape of the country, then so be it. Because radical ideas are what need to be done to make this a prosperous country.

make things happen

In schools in the past, we used to have home economics and shop class. The equivalent to that today would have to be some form computer science or electrical work. We should mandate across the board. Make it mandatory for a kid in school to build a computer app to graduate high school. The idea doesn’t even have to ultimately work, but out of those across the country that do, something will transpired. A kid must create something innovative, even if it fails. You might also spark the mind of a young person who didn’t even know they had a skill to do what they are doing.

learn from the past

America is not the most powerful civilization in human history. The Romans and the British reigned supreme for centuries, not so much anymore. Great Britain has limited reach and Rome is now a city in Italy. They were the America of their time, not much anymore. Why, well because of political, social, and various wars that took them down. So many internal problems degraded countries. Living in real time we don’t see it, but it could happen in the year 2300, 2400, or 2500.

I am from Racine, Wisconsin where I was raised until I graduated high school back in the year 2006. That entire time growing up in my mother's house, I was a student athlete. My goal was to embark on a general business career or athletics. But injuries through sports stopped a sports path, so I decided upon business with a focus in marketing. While attending undergraduate school at University of Wisconsin-Parkside, I began to write screenplays in my senior year. At first it was for fun, but I quickly learned writing allow me to transfer negative energy into characters I created. This led to a decrease in depressing mood swings, which in turn boosted my quality of life. After undergraduate school in May of 2011, I move to New York City for graduate school. While pursuing my MBA, I continued to write screenplays, but always wanted to write novels as well. I finished graduate school back in the year 2014, but wrote screenplays until I began thinking of my first short film, first First Day Fears. While finishing my fifth feature length screenplay, I started to write my first novel this year. So far, I have finished my first short film and working on my next one (Freedomless Speech), and recently self published my first novel (The Boy Who Could Talk To God) and short stories book (Faheem Jackson Short Story Collection Volume 1). My feature length screenplays have been put on temporary hold to finish my short films and books, but I am making good progress on my sixth feature length screenplay. With year 2017 ending, I am currently writing my novel Precinct 86 and Faheem Jackson Short Story Collection Vol. 2. I have started teaching myself photography and will pursuing that by summer of 2018, along with my videography, podcast later on, and more research for my documentary.
