We recently connected with Amari Walker and have shared our conversation below.
Amari , so great to have you on the platform and excited to have you share your wisdom with our community today. Communication skills often play a powerful role in our ability to be effective and so we’d love to hear about how you developed your communication skills.
Throughout my entire life it has been a learning lesson to speak well. Growing up my soft spoken voice has been used against me. I don’t desire to have a thunderous voice. However, the ability to craft a thought provoking sentence became my superpower. Numerous speech lessons throughout grade school aided my journey. I keep in mind, speaking with intention is how people understand your thoughts.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
My name is Amari, however, I prefer “Amir”. I spent my entire life trying to find my niche. Television ending up becoming a large portion of my childhood. Growing up in the heart of tabloid culture and watching pop culture unfold. Music, Television, and Film were my safe heaven.
Therefore, it made sense for me want to share my opinions about it. I’ve since become a Content Creator within Youtube, Tiktok, Instagram. I create scripts, design videos, and create graphics. These skills I contribute to other podcasts, YouTubers, etc. My desire to be a producer and creative director. Currently, I’m freelance Content Designer and Video Editor while not creating for myself.
As a creator I am called WDComments. My tagline is “I make the comments around here, unless you want to”. On various platforms I hightlight elements of music and pop culture.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The most impactful knowledge I learned is to not stop. Time is short and not doing what I love is robbing myself. One of my skills is being able to analyze a topic and deconstruct it. Mt best quality is I’m witty and many people around my enjoy that trait. It’s my favorite quality about myself.
My advice for those that are trying to move forward, is to not go against self-improvement. Resisting growth as person is an unhealthy trait. It can force you into dangerous places. There is no shame in personal. That’s a belief deeply stand by.
Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?
Being willing to ask for help in the face of pride is a huge challenge. However, I want to continue to work with people. I would love to collaborate with more people. As time has gone by, moving beyond that. The best way forward is often as a team.
