In this powerful conversation, Amir and I unpack the assassination of Charlie Kirk—how we first heard about it, our raw reactions, and why I felt driven to speak out before the noise settled. We dive into the deeper issue: it’s not just one act of violence—it’s who’s shaking the jar. We ask: how do we bridge the gap, humanize one another, and heal the divide in America?

We also go beyond that moment to explore tough topics others avoid. As a gay Black conservative, Amir responds honestly to:

• Affirmative action and its place in 2025
• DEI initiatives in schools: inclusion or division?
• Navigating criticism for being an “ideal Black conservative”
• Daily practices that preserve mental clarity in a volatile political media space
• The role God plays in his life—and how faith intersects with public identity
• His take on the LGBTQ+ movement from a conservative lens

We close with:

• The book that changed his life
• The quote that sticks with him
• What he’d tell his 18-year-old self
• Where you can connect with him and follow his work

Tune in for a bold, unfiltered discussion about identity, politics, faith, healing, and human connection.
