The death of unarmed Black teenager Mike Brown at the hands of police is the sociopolitical background of this coming-of-age documentary about 17-year old Daje Shelton. She wants what countless Hollywood stories tell us young women in America want: good grades, good friends, and the perfect boyfriend. Instead, she runs afoul at her high school, is expelled, and given a last chance to graduate by attending an alternative program at the Innovative Concept Academy. Over the next two years, Daje struggles with typical teen growing pains, falling in love and fighting with mom, but also must increasingly combat the institutional and social roadblocks that keep black teens like her from succeeding in America. Through this intimate, cinematic tale of one teen’s true story, For Akheem offers nuance to her story, while taking full account of a fraught sociopolitical landscape.

See For Akheem at Tribeca 2017.

Just some sketches of some characters I did during break at work (I colored them later, obviously)

The first two are Eion Evans from KaBoom (green jumpsuit) and Cosette Jeter from Nonfictional, but the last one is Nami from One Piece in my style. (Or my attempt at drawing her, haha.)

I had no references, so some parts might look a bit off.

There there was a boy named David who was raised in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. Despite his modest upbringing, David had always envisioned himself as a prosperous businessman with a global reputation.

David came to the large metropolis when he turned 18 and began working at a little shop to make ends meet. But he never lost sight of his ambition to succeed as an entrepreneur. He read business-related books in his free time and went to seminars and workshops to expand his knowledge of the sector.

David made the bold decision to establish his own business after several years of diligent labor and money saving. Aong with a few of his pals, he established a modest software firm, and the team toiled away to create a product they thought would transform the market.

But things didn't turn out how we had hoped. The company swiftly ran out of money after the disastrous product launch. David's aspirations of achievement were dashed, and he descended into a state of severe despair.

David, though, resisted giving up. He took a step back and reviewed his objectives and company strategy. He understood that he had been too preoccupied with generating income and not enough with doing something that actually offered value. David changed the direction of his company and began working on a product for which he was genuinely passionate. He invested all of his time, money, and effort into making something he thought would alter the course of history.

And he was successful this time. The item was well-received, and David's business grew to be among the most prosperous startups in its sector. Yet, David also discovered a sense of contentment and direction that he had never had before.

The lesson in this tale is that success is about more than just accumulating wealth. Finding your passion and producing something that genuinely improves people's lives are key. Anybody may attain their goals and objectives by working diligently, remaining persistent, and being willing to learn from mistakes, anyone can make a real difference in the world
