Sam collaborates with civil rights organizations & non-profits on social impact projects, and he talks with young people about advocacy & civic engagement. He engages audiences in the kinds of conversations we too often avoid in a way that is honest, genuine, inclusive, and approachable. His work centers on creating space for and developing conversations about issues of race, allyship, and politics, while offering advice on how to navigate unfamiliar territory, specifically for young people looking to get involved in activism. Central to Sam’s message of #BeYouBeGreat is the idea that you do not have to identify as something to care about it or recognize its value – allyship is an essential tool in strategically working towards progress. Sam also partners with brands on experiential & influencer marketing campaigns. He focuses on menswear, lifestyle, and travel to integrate his personal style & passions and authentically share them with his audience. His goal is to channel his passions to inspire others to do the same in their own creative and productive ways.
