With a strong belief in himself and dedication, Ali achieved immense recognition at a young age. He has proved that success is limitless and not bound by a particular age or status.
Ali, who belongs to a financially struggling immigrant family, knew that he had to do something to change his life. As immigrants, his family fought against all odds to settle in and make living in a completely new environment. Even as a kid, Ali acknowledged the effort of his parents and always wanted to be financially sound to change his family condition and live a better life.
Ali started gaming content on YouTube at 13 intending to earn money. The idea was new to his parents with whom he had an age difference of more than 45 years hence they did not support his choice. Unlike many boys his age, he didn’t feel disheartened and kept working hard towards his goal and through consistency, he achieved over 30,000 subscribers by the age of 16. For anyone of his age, it was a big achievement especially when you have no support and you are doing it all on your own.
As he continued to work towards his goals, he ranked top 10 in the world of Halo as a competitive player. This eventually helped him to build and grow strong alliances with well-known companies in the gaming space on a long-term basis. People who thought it was a crazy or immature idea including his parents could see potential in him and started recognizing his achievements.
Instead of utilizing his capabilities in the wrong direction, Ali decided to invest himself in exploring different opportunities and turning his adversities into blessings. He believes in the power of never giving up and that’s what he wants young people to understand. Ali believes that if he can make it happen, anyone can with true intentions, passion, and belief in themself. He started his own clothing business “OUTTA POCKET” with the same idea to create a brand that can be impactful and help his mission to make a difference whether small or big. Ali believes that there is so much talent in this world that goes unrecognized because of a lack of opportunities. If given equal chances, we can make this world a better place with fewer problems.
