Tune in for a conversation that goes deeper than the usual narrative of resilience. In our latest episode, Amani shares not only his journey through life-changing challenges but also the transformative power of vulnerability in healing and connection. In 2011, Amani Simpson survived a near-fatal knife attack that marked a profound turning point in his life. Today, he dedicates his work to guiding young people away from cycles of violence and despair. Through his social enterprise, AVIARD Inspires CIC, and partnerships with impactful initiatives like Apprentice Nation and The Commission on Young Lives, Amani leads with an unshakable purpose. Amani’s commitment extends beyond community initiatives—he's also a secondary school governor, a trustee of a top creative college, and a board member at a leading Christian media production company. As a creative force, Amani took his first steps into filmmaking in 2018, producing and starring in the powerful short film AMANI, which reached one million views within days of release and continues to resonate with nearly four million viewers. Every story he tells is rooted in honesty, thought-provoking themes, and upliftment. Driven by a mission to add value through his lived experience and deep connections, Amani's goal is to impact lives by building safe spaces for growth, truth, and healing. Join us in this episode to explore why he believes finding someone to be vulnerable with can be a life-changing key to resilience.
