Jamila is an Emmy-winning producer and development executive, a title earned through her work on various television and film projects.

In a major, recent industry move, Jamila Jordan-Theus was appointed as the Head of Development and Production at Taraji P. Henson’s TPH Entertainment.
This role, which she took on as recently as July 2024, places her in a crucial position to oversee and greenlight a slate of new projects for the company.
Prior to joining TPH Entertainment, Jamila held the prestigious title of Head of Motion Picture for Marsai Martin's production banner, Genius Entertainment, a position she started in February 2021.
Her work focuses on overseeing the development and production of feature films, demonstrating her deep commitment to creating diverse and impactful cinematic content.

Transition to Full-Time Management (2024 Update)
While often known for his previous role as a TV Development Executive at major studios like Warner Brothers Television, recent reports from 2024 indicate that Khalid has successfully converted his role to that of a full-time manager and producer.
This transition is a significant step, moving him from overseeing the early stages of a project's life to actively managing talent and driving production, a path that aligns closely with his brother's work at Outlier Society.

3. The Jordan Family's Shared Passion and Newark Roots
The success of the three Jordan siblings—Michael, Jamila, and Khalid—is often attributed to their incredibly supportive parents, Donna and Michael A. Jordan, and their grounded upbringing in Newark, New Jersey.
The family has a history of working together and supporting each other's ventures. For example, the entire family was present at the Lupus LA's MBJAM 17 event, demonstrating their commitment to philanthropic efforts and public support.
The collective power of the Jordan siblings has created a formidable presence in Hollywood: an A-list actor/director, an Emmy-winning Head of Development, and a rising manager/producer. This trifecta allows the family to control the narrative from development and production to starring roles, ensuring that their vision for diverse and compelling content is realized across the industry.
Jamila and Khalid's recent executive promotions in 2024 and 2025 demonstrate that the Jordan family is not slowing down. They are actively building a legacy that will influence Hollywood for decades to come, proving that the talent in this family is truly an "Outlier Society" of its own.
