From Chicago to LA, from Washington D.C. to Atlanta, Jahkil's reach knows no bounds.

Jahkil's compassion and generosity have truly touched lives on every continent.

Cheat Code: Self Discipline

But Jahkil's impact goes beyond the numbers. When he's not busy raising awareness of homelessness or leading Project I Am's efforts, you can find him on the basketball court, honing his skills as a student-athlete. He's also a talented photographer and filmmaker, using his creative talents to tell powerful stories and spark meaningful conversations.

Jahkil's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. From gracing the pages of Forbes Magazine at just 10 years old to earning praise from President Barack Obama himself, Jahkil has proven that age is no barrier to making a difference. His passion, determination, and unwavering commitment to helping others serve as an inspiration to us all.
