We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Angelique Skinner a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Angelique, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s kick things off with a hypothetical question – if it were up to you, what would you change about the school or education system to better prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career?
I believe the education system should place a greater focus on creative arts and innovation. Too often, schools emphasize traditional subjects while overlooking the power of creativity and hands-on skills that can lead to fulfilling careers. In today’s world, students are rarely given the tools or exposure to explore these paths early on. Looking back at my own journey, I had to seek out my passion for film and storytelling on my own because there weren’t many structured opportunities in school that nurtured creativity in that way. The system was designed more for memorization and standardized testing rather than real-world application. It wasn’t until I stepped outside the classroom and started creating on my own.
If schools integrated more creative arts, and entrepreneurial thinking into their curriculum, students would be better prepared for the future. Creativity isn’t just about making art— it’s about problem-solving, innovation, and finding new ways to express ideas and create impact. Encouraging young people to explore these areas would not only unlock their potential but also open doors to industries that are growing and evolving every day.
The world needs more creators, innovators, and storytellers. The education system should reflect that by giving students the tools, space, and encouragement to explore their creative potential and turn their passions into purpose-driven careers.

I remember starting with just a $100 camera and whatever editing software I could get my hands on. I didn’t have the best equipment, but I used what I had to start my business.
I pushed through long nights, learned every skill I needed on my own, and kept creating, even when no one was watching. . because I knew that consistency, faith, and relentless execution would eventually pay off.
Fast forward to today, I’m working on major film sets, collaborating with top creatives, and building a platform that empowers others to tell their stories.every obstacle I faced only made me stronger.
