deathtohipsterz asked: Hey dude, I was just searching for Forensics on tumblr and I recognized your name from a youtube video! I legit loved your HI, one of the best of all time without a doubt. I"m a huge fan, and I'm sure you get that a lot. I just thought I'd introduce myself as a fellow forensicator; I'm Head Moral Captain of my school's team and I qualified for Nationals for DI from VA and now I'm going to States and MetroFinals/CFL Nationals for DI and OO. Oh, and I'm Arab too!

Hey man! That was really nice of you, I appreciate the kind words. CONGRATS on qualifying to States and Nationals! I wish you the best of luck. I may actually be at Nationals this year with my old team. If I end up going you should definitely come say hi!

The first love poem I ever wrote.

Humbled to say that I have shared a stage and performed with this talented poet.

nashiha asked: how long have you been doing slam for?

I started doing slam my junior year of high school, so about 4 years ago. Ahhh that makes me seem old.

The first poem I ever wrote!! 

g-a-b-z asked: Hey! You probably get this a lot but...I'm Gabby and I'm a HUGE fan of yours. I do HI and no joke, I go to your HI Finals video for inspiration/tech ideas and stuff. I'm not as good as you but I do hope to qual for NFL Nats this year! So yep! Thanks for being such an inspiration to me :)

Awwwww! Thank you so much. It is always great to meet another speechie!  I wish you the best of luck in qualling for NFLs this year. I know you’ll do great! What piece are you doing?

This is the game-winning goal I scored in overtime during the playoffs of my senior year. I received “Cal Hi Sports Play of the Week” for this goal!
