We had the good fortune of connecting with Tyshawn Jaimson (Typerception) and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tyshawn, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Pursuing this artistic career was my escapism towards the healing process that the child in me desperately needed and from that realizing it was something that i love to do .
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Staying focused on my goals.It hasn’t been easy. The way I’ve been able to overcome many trials and tribulations throughout this journey is by being influenced by other black creators who’ve been creating their own opportunities; leaving the door open for more creators to come in and bring their authentic work ethic to the table. A doctor is not a doctor overnight; a nurse is not a nurse overnight. The point is to weigh out the ones who really want it. I’ve heard more no than yes; I’ve had people take me as a joke and dismiss me than those who actually were willing to work with me. I’ve wanted to give up so many times, but even in that, the passion that burns deep down inside me continues to push me; even now, you have to have faith in yourself and develop confidence because this industry is not for the weak-minded. Know that God gave you this gift for a reason. I had to ask myself how bad do I want it and to come to the realization that even in the midst of this journey to remain kind and never compromise your morals and respect for yourself and help as much as you can and to have fun and face every obstacle the best way you can you always get the best outcome regardless how you look at it.
