Why I'm Here

My goal with my content is to provide you the tools you need to rationally share your opinion on tough topics. I’m someone that likes to explore all perspectives and really get to the core of issues and honestly nothing is off limits to me. While I love to inspire independent thinkers, a lot of my content is meant to broaden the perspective of those who may be deeper on the left or right side of the political spectrum. 

My Story

Growing up, I was always told how to think. Because I’m black, I have to be a democrat, I have to stand with black lives matter, and I have to believe America is a racist country. And on the flip side, because I’m gay, I was always told I have to hate republicans and I have to stand for everything the LGBTQ+ community advocates for and truly, none of that is the case.

I am an individual with my own thoughts and opinions and I will never let any mainstream corporation, influencer, and non-profit tell me how or what to think. And you shouldn’t either. We shouldn’t have to subscribe to this groupthink mentality that because I look like x or I do x, that means my entire worldview, thoughts and opinions are already defined. Like no…I am an individual. 

That’s why my content does have a leaning towards black and gay issues. I’m trying to highlight and show that we all don’t think the same. I spent years trying to fit in with the “black community” and “gay community,” only to realize I didn’t have to. I’d much rather be free in being Amir than fitting the ideological checkboxes and having a copy and paste personality.

My Content

Something I want you to keep in mind is how can you call for unity yet be so quick to cancel someone because of differing views? You’re not going to agree with everything that I say, but at least you know it’s a viewpoint rooted in honesty and no malicious intent. I’m still learning too.

So before you “cancel” me or leave a hateful comment. How will disrespecting and canceling someone for thinking differently bring this country together?

To create more unity in the country, we should not have to fear losing friends, loved ones, or jobs simply for having nuanced conversations. At the very least, we should create the standard to hear each other out.

There’s far more that unite us than divide us. To find the common ground that unites us, be open to having uncomfortable conversations that will challenge our views. 

If anything, talking to someone with differing views should be exciting; you’re either going to learn something new or teach them something new.

If you want this country to come together, it’s going to take mutual effort from all sides to kindle change.

Being Vulnerable

As much as I strive to provide you with the most accurate information, there will be a time where I am not right and I vow to correct myself and make sure you all get the truth. No one is perfect, and I will never claim to be. Putting myself out there like this opens me up to a lot of criticism but it’s more than worth it because it’s done authentically. I’m genuinely curious by nature and I want to push others to ask questions and really get to the source of things.

Self-Reflection

Additionally, within my content you’ll see that I talk about personal accountability a lot. I’ve been through hell and back, and truly the only thing that kept me alive is knowing that I control how I respond. 

You can’t change what you refuse to confront. You cannot neglect yourself from becoming a better version nor can you neglect yourself from realizing the truth for what it is. You deserve more for yourself.

Becoming immune to my prevailing circumstances is a process that I struggle with every day. It is very easy for me to insert myself in someone else’s life.To wish I lived the life they only allow me to see. What we don’t get to see if that person goes to bed with a smile on their face. What we don’t get to live through, is their own struggles and personal life.

At the end of the day, one doesn’t request to be born, one is born. It is not their fault that their life has been predisposed to certain traits or social classes. What matters is as soon as you take a step back and focus on your life and your life only, the quicker you will live the life that is meant for you.

At some point you have to hold yourself accountable for your own feelings and emotions. 

I understand that these feelings and emotions you are experiencing can be a direct result of what someone else did, but what they did is behind us now. 

Your Reaction

Your life is fueled by your reaction.

With this in mind, please do not allow your emotions to be led by the mainstream media. Please do not cave into the demands of those you only know behind a screen or groupthink mentality from your “community”. You are more than the labels.

Like Dr. Joe Dispenza states, "If you can't control your mind, everything and everyone else will."

Start Now

Whether you’re on a journey of self-reflection, exposing yourself to different viewpoints, or looking for more like-minded people, I urge you to start taking control of your life. We’re only here for a limited time, so I would use that to the best of your ability to make an impact on those around you and yourself.

Now is the time to seek out the truth with honesty and compassion.
