Meet Khalif Thompson
My name is Khalif Thompson and I am from Atlantic City, New Jersey. I am a black 18 year old content creator, aspiring actor, writer, and music artist. I moved after Hurricane Sandy in 2012, to Newark, NJ where the documentation of my creative aspirations began. Content creation is not just an art to me, it's a way of healing and creating the lost boy in myself I've been reaching to find and express to the world. My content is centered around documenting my black boy's joy whilst healing, inspiring, and bringing people together through the joys of happiness, peace, and laughter. I love to spearhead conversations surrounding identity, self improvement, healing, and ultimately starting the “need to be had” discussions that allows people to channel their inner light and creativity. I approach the creative realm differently because I strive to create content that is solely aligned with my identity. I am constantly aiming to create the boy I've always shied away from, but so desperately wanted to become outside of who the world told me I should be. I love what I do because of the passion and creativity creating builds and sharpens inside of me. More importantly, over the span of my 5 year content creating journey, I have impacted and touched millions of people simply by recognizing my own talents, the power of my words, the art of laughter, and the passion of creating. I love what I do because after years of praying to discover what it is I was sent on this earth to do, I am constantly reassured that my life’s purpose was to create, break barriers, and inspire in some capacity. What I create is different because my content serves as an escape to societal expectations that have been placed on me as a queer, black, young adult in America. In 5 years, quite frankly, the Universe may take me anywhere. I don't have a set out 5 year plan, but what I do hold on to is love, faith, God, and my creativity and whatever it has sketched out for me in the years to come, I accept it gracefully. What I am to accomplish in life is creating a space where I can happily, financially, and peacefully coexist with the idea that I have made my mark either cinematically or creatively on this earth. I push to help those around me become the best and most dreamed versions of themselves through tactics of positivity and love. What I bring to the entertainment industry that’s different from the content/art I’ve experienced is a sense of authenticity. To know me is not to understand, but rather to find yourself puzzled within my complexity. I make strides towards making sure that what I present, create, and spread is fully attached to the ember of my being, but also to the freedom of my expression and avoidance of societal limitations. The entertainment industry has a tendency to try to box creators in & categorize them, but I am to be as multitalented and free of what’s expected of what it means to be a creator. I want to be remembered for the impact/influence my art has had on the world and for the individuals I have helped heal and inspire to delve deep and lay themselves at the foot of the things they are most passionate about. I want to be remembered for the legacy I’ve set for the legion of creators/artists/directors/producers/executives/ and all of those, whether apart of or not, who value the arts and creativity as much as I value them in life.

Meet Julian Jermaine
My name is Julian Jermaine, I was born and raised in Saginaw Michigan on the city’s Northside. Same birthplace as Stevie Wonder and Draymond Green. I was also partially raised in Youngstown Ohio. Right in the heart of the mahoning valley notoriously known for its mafia presence and influence from the nineteen forties and throughout the early nineteen nineties. Growing up in the Northeast and Midwest was tough, so it created a tough philosophy within me.
