Published: May 10, 2021, 7 a.m.

\u201cI was angry because CNN told me to be angry.\u201d This is how Amir Odom\u2014a young Black man\u2014described his experience as a BLM supporter.

This is by far one of the most controversial episodes I\u2019ve recorded to date, and also one of my favorite conversations. Join me and Amir Odom for a discussion that pushes the boundaries on the current narratives being shared in our world today.

In this episode, you\u2019ll learn why the term \u2018privilege\u2019 is greatly misused and needs to be stopped, the reasons why Amir believes that BLM is spreading a disempowering narrative for the Black community, why distributing reparations is not the answer, what it really takes to change the narrative for the Black community, and why individuals must take responsibility for the choices that they make.

At age 25, Amir Odom is destined to make an impact on this planet. After navigating a series of challenges in his life, he has adopted the mindset that you can either be a victim of your past, or a victor of your future \u2014 and, at some point, you have to move forward and accept that you are the present of the past. He believes that everyone has the capability to become the best version of themselves. With a passion for self-development, new perspectives and essentialism, he helps his clients create the lives they wish to live in.
