I AM NAWAR MASOOD, I AM AN AWARD-WINNING ACTIVIST AND I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING THE WORLD. I STARTED MY ACTIVISM JOURNEY OVER A DECADE AGO AT THE TENDER AGE OF SEVEN. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL PRISON. I KNEW I WANTED TO HELP. I CONTINUED TO WORK IN PRISON REFORM AND UNDERSTAND THE PRISON SYSTEM. FROM 11-14, I GOT INVOLVED WITH THE WE MOVEMENT AND ONE YOUNG WORLD WITH THE HELP OF MY SCHOOL.
THEN IN 2020, I SAW THE UNFORTUNATE DEATHS OF AHMAUD ARBERY, BREONA TAYLOR, AND GEORGE FLOYD. THIS LEAD ME TO GET INVOLVED IN THE EQUAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE AND COLOR FOR CHANGE. IN THE SAME YEAR I BECAME A MEMBER OF GLAAD. I HAVE NOW AN AWARD FOR MY ACTIVISM AND I AM AN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS SPECIALIST. I AM NOW PART OF 100+ ORGANIZATIONS AS OF LATE 2023. AS OF EARLY 2024, I AM A PART OF 180 ORGANIZATIONS IN MY ELEVENTH YEAR OF ACTIVISM! ALSO, ON APRIL 15TH, 2024 I LAUNCHED MY OWN PRISON REFORM ORGANZIATION THE PRISON REFORM COLLECTIVE. THERE WE TALK ALL ASPECTS OF THE PRISON SYSTEM AND PRISON REFORM.
APART OF BETTERING MYSELF ALSO MEANS FULL TRANSPARENCY. I USED TO BE A COMPULSIVE LIAR. I HURT PEOPLE UNFORTUNATELY AND IT IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST SHAMES. INSTEAD OF FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF, I DECIDED TO BE FULLY TRANSPARENT ABOUT MY WRONG-DOINGS AND HORRIBLE LIES. IN 2022, I DECIDED TO END MY LYING SPIRAL FULLY. I CAN BE TRANSPARENT AND HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE. I HAVE ASKED MANY PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE SAID I HAVE FULLY HELD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE. THIS FULL TRANSPARENCY MEANS I HAVE TRANSPARENT ACTIVISM. I WILL FULLY HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
