Hey, I’m A.J. Ali!

I'm a service-disabled USAF Veteran, Filmmaker, TV Host, Writer, & 5x Book Author.

In 2022, I received the Joseph R. Biden Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and I'm featured in the Black History 365 textbook for my transformational work as the Founder & CEO of L.O.V.E. Is The Answer®, the Social Emotional Learning and Post-Traumatic Growth Company.

FUN FACT: On a bet, I golfed in all 50 states in 101 days in 2014.

My award-winning documentary film, "WALKING WHILE BLACK: L.O.V.E. Is The Answer®," is improving relations between police and people of color (www.walkingwhileblack.com). It has inspired a movement of reconciliation called the L.O.V.E. Is The Answer® Movement (www.trylovenow.com). I'm available to host a virtual or in-person screening of the film, participate in a Q&A and teach a L.O.V.E. Is The Answer webinar to groups that license the film. We also offer leadership classes and more.

I'm the host and producer of the L.O.V.E. Is The Answer® TV series that is rallying people to help families in need in their community.

You can still see episodes of my Good Fellas of Baltimore TV series (and other work) online on YouTube -- the show that raised loads of support and $$$ for charities and families in need.

I enjoy golf, the beach, travel adventures and kicking back with family and friends over healthy outdoor activities, good meals and plenty of laughter! Speaking of family, Jane Ali, my beautiful wife, has been by my side since 1994.

Get in touch with me and let's make a difference!

I pledge to LEARN about the people in my community, unconditionally OPEN my heart to their needs as if they were my favorite family members, VOLUNTEER to be part of the solution in their lives during both good and challenging times, and EMPOWER everyone I meet to do the same as if our lives depended on each other.
