Meet Jamehl Jackson

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jamehl Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jamehl, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I came up with the idea for my business when the Black American Express card was introduced. Witnessing the lifestyle and exclusivity associated with having that card sparked my imagination. I wanted to create a production company that embodies that same vision of limitless possibilities, class, and elegance. Thus, Black Card Productions was born, aiming to provide high-quality, timeless content that mirrors the sophistication of the Black Card lifestyle.

What should our readers know about your business?
It was not easy; there were many obstacles to overcome. One of the biggest challenges was learning to separate friends and family from business. I discovered that no one is as passionate about your brand as you are. Through this journey, I’ve learned the importance of perseverance, especially during tough times. I want people to know that Black Card Productions is not for the lighthearted. Success requires moving forward with confidence and determination, as if you already have it all.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank all the artists, producers, promoters, photographers, and videographers I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years. Their creativity and dedication have been instrumental in my journey. I’ve met so many amazing people, and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with such talented individuals through Black Card Productions.
