We had the good fortune of connecting with Amani Sams and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Amani, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
I feel like balance is very important. Over time my work life balance has changed since expanding the Aman Magazine brand while also jumping back into radio all while balancing my personal life. The key to balancing it all for me is time management while also keeping a paper trail. I’m a huge advocate for sticky notes and keeping a planner. It’s the old school way during these digital ages but it’s effective and it keeps me on track.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am in the business of informing the public of trending topics and current events aka journalism. I feel my job is extremely important and it sets me apart because if I do my job of informing the public with information, it could possibly make the world a better place. Because I feel if people know more then they can do more. I am a radio personality for The Amani Sams Show on Hits 92.3 and I am the founder and Editor-In-Chief of Aman Magazine. It hasn’t been an easy journey. I have received a lot of “nos “, unanswered emails and texts but It only pushes me to continue to pursue my dreams. It always makes me feel better to refer to Kris Jenner’s motto:”If someone says no, then you’re talking to the wrong person”. I continue to overcome challenges by continuing to press forward no matter what. I would like for the world to know that my brand not only focuses on the media but it also focuses on empowerment. My overall goal for my radio show and for Aman Magazine is to inspire little girls to follow their dreams and to know that their voice deserves to be heard.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If someone was visiting Atlanta I would definitely recommend that they go to J.R. Crickets. They have the best fried green tomatoes! And of course, I would recommend that they check out The Trap Museum, which is the home of hip hop.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to shout out my parents! I owe a great deal of my success to both of them. They have always supported me and encouraged me to pursue my dreams.
