We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Amari Jones a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Amari, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?
From seeing the greatest people who I’ve been inspired by never stop working and my family.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Our mission is to promote student activism and to lower violence in schools and communities. We hope to amplify young voices by acting as a platform for the youth to express their concerns and opinions to administrators and legislators.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Highly motivated, patience, de-escalation , learning people
I would say to a young person stay motivated stay inspired and never give up always have a step by step process and the biggest thing to get rid of is doubt because you doubt yourself it will be hard to accomplish anything in life.
Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
I am facing and fighting one of the biggest battles and that’s creating change for the youth and to better the young people of my generation and ones to come the hardest is fighting through criticism being a young person in school districts with my background.
