Jayden Jackson is an author, songwriter, and storyteller whose work spans literature, music, and community empowerment. His books, The Hollowing and CEO of Me: Strategic Hiring and Firing, showcase his gift for blending raw honesty with transformative lessons, offering readers powerful reflections on resilience, growth, and the courage to reinvent oneself. As a songwriter, Jayden draws on the depth of R&B, Gospel, and soul to create music that carries both emotional truth and spiritual resonance, offering listeners songs that heal, inspire, and connect across boundaries. His creative voice is defined by authenticity and purpose, using rhythm, melody, and words to leave lasting impact.
Beyond the page and the music, Jayden is a dedicated advocate for wellness, equity, and justice. His work in the community is rooted in lived experience and a commitment to ensuring that vulnerable and often-overlooked populations have access to the care, support, and opportunities they deserve. Whether through art, advocacy, or mentorship, Jayden uses creativity as both a platform and a bridge—uplifting voices, sparking conversation, and helping others find strength in their own stories.
CEO of Me: Strategic Hiring and Firing is a self-help guide that reimagines personal growth through the lens of leadership and business strategy. Jayden Jackson empowers readers to see themselves as the chief executive of their own lives responsible for “hiring” the habits, relationships, and mindsets that build success, while “firing” the ones that drain purpose, joy, and progress. It is both a motivational call to action and a practical manual for anyone ready to take ownership of their future.
Storms carried whispers that no one could escape. The rivers bled red. Birds fell lifeless from the sky. Then came the Hollowing, a parasite that crawled into lungs, rewrote minds, and promised belonging at the cost of your soul. Laughter twisted into madness, voices became weapons, and entire cities turned against themselves. The world abandoned its most vulnerable. The homeless, the addicted, the mentally ill were thrown away. But when the infection spread beyond control, it was the forgotten who refused to be hollowed. Now one immune man and one quiet woman hold the key to humanity’s survival. Together they will expose the parasite’s flaw, but only if they can survive the hunger of the hive. The end of the world has begun, and the cure may lie with those society feared the most.

My mother Melody Jackson Perry was a part of CPDSA Central Park Dance Skating Association. It played a big part in my family. First off it's where my Parents met. It is where I found a deeper love of dance and where I learned the value of safe spaces of expression.
