Meet Hykeem Brown

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Hykeem Brown a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hykeem , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Great Question, I can say I found my purpose fully is when I became an adult. I felt like I always knew my purpose but if I’m being honest it’s definitely after going through life more and with the ups and downs.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I’m a writer first , actor , Exec. Producer and model. I’m also a Mental Health Advocate which is something I’m extremely passionate about as well as my other projects. The most special thing about what I do is simply helping others and being service to what I can. I Always believe the more knowledge you have sets the tone for your future.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I can say three things that was most impactful in my life, if I had to look back is patience , timing and staying humble. And to improve on these things or whatever area in life you are in is to be positive and stay optimistic even on the bad days which don’t last forever.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
When I’m feeling overwhelmed or get close to that feeling of, I will take a mental break. I learn to never burn yourself out because at the end of the day, everything has its way or meaning and lesson. So when you take out time for yourself such as yoga , meditating or working out, or not even doing a thing. I give myself a day to feel or days until I find that momentum, as creatives we have to know how to balance so I’m grateful to how found that.
