After struggling to find my feet as I grew up, and nearly losing my life after being stabbed seven times in a knife attack in 2011, I dedicated my life to steering young people away from darkness.Most of my projects are run through my social enterprise, AVIARD Inspires CIC but I also work with a number of other impactful initiatives such as Apprentice Nation and The Commission On Young Lives. I’m also a secondary school governor, trustee of a leading creative college and board member of a leading christian media production company.With my creative hat on, I’m a director, producer and writer, starting my film career in 2018 as the producer and protagonist of the award-winning ‘AMANI’ Short Film starring Hollywood Actor, Joivan Wade (DC Comic’s Doom Patrol, The First Purge and Shiro’s Story). It received 1 Million views in four days and has since been viewed nearly 4 million times on Youtube. My rule of thumb is that all the stories I tell must be honest, thought-provoking and uplifting.My mission is to be a servant leader who always finds ways to add value to others through my lived experience, loving nature and influential network. I plan to leave this earth (as an old man) having used my time well, impacting the lives, mindsets and trajectory of millions of people.
