Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Nicholas Buamah. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Nicholas, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

I recently starred in my very own TV show project called Nick’s House. I took my love for writing books and channeled it into writing tv show scripts. This was very meaningful to me because at 11 years old I am the creator, executive producer and star of a television series made for network TV. Nick’s House idea came about when I was interviewed on a talk show. The host had suggested that we create a 5-minute movie together. My mom on the other hand thought, “Why create a 5 minute movie when we can create a 22 minute pilot?” She hired a professional writer to help us layout the script and that’s how it all began.

Hollywood Producer, LaMont Ferrell read the script and decided he wanted to be a part of the project as the show’s director. Ferrell is known for producing and writing on hit shows such as Girlfriends, Moesha, Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, The Office and more. There were plenty of others that brought their talents to the set of Nick’s House, and I’m just very grateful that they all believed in this project.

The summary of Nick’s House is that my friends and I run a successful business out of my parents’ home. The chaos begins when my slightly immature uncle moves in to be my nanny. I end up teaching my uncle how to act more like an adult while he teaches me how to have fun as a child.

Nicholas, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

At 7 years old I published and catalogued my first book into the library of congress called Kayla & Kyle The Walking Dictionaries. This book went on to become an Amazon bestseller. I now have 3 books published and catalogued. My 3rd book, Is Santa Really Real, was co-written with my mother based on a conversation we had about Santa Claus. In 2021 that book was also an Amazon bestseller.

I’ve been honored by Whoopi Goldberg for Black History Month on her show, The View. I also had the opportunity to appear on the Steve Harvey Show. That was truly an amazing experience. Not only did I teach Mr. Harvey a new word but I even taught him his Ghanaian name which is Yaw. Yaw meaning Thursday born. Mr. Harvey donated 555 books to my nonprofit Books Without Borders, Inc. for the children in Ghana. Since then, I’ve appeared on several tv and radio shows discussing my books.

Now that I’ve started focusing a lot on script writing I have set my goals even higher. I would love to be recognized as the youngest person to create and produce an original series for network TV. I would also love to be nominated for an Oscar or an Emmy award for my new show Nick’s House.

Writing is exciting but I do have to say my true passion is helping other’s through my nonprofit Books Without Borders, Inc. My career goal is to be a mechanical engineer and my passion goal is to be a philanthropist. Every year for Christmas through my nonprofit I host a ‘Nick’s Christmas Extravaganza.’ This is where I donate to families in need. It makes me feel good to make people happy.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

Technology has made it a lot easier for the community to support creatives like myself. Just like our show Nick’s House we’re asking the community to support us by taking the time to follow our pages, like, comment and share our post. I know that doesn’t seem like it helps much, but it actual does. These small gestures help the algorithm show our products to more potential clients and supporters. Another way to show support is just by spreading the word to others.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

What I love most about being a creative is when I see my vision come to life. Nick’s House started off as an idea that was written into a script. I read the script many times, but it wasn’t until we actually filmed the show was I able to understand and see exactly what had been created. Pure magic.
