We recently connected with Samuel Banks and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Samuel, thanks for joining us today. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?
I’m very lucky to have the parents I have. So many things they did right with me , but the main thing was being the great example of perseverance and instilling in me that “never give up” attitude. I’ve seen both of parents go through so much in which most would never recover but they never gave up on themselves, and my siblings and I. For that I owe them the world and I’ll never give up on making sure they can rest after so much hardwork.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Sam. I’m a content creator from the DMV area and very proud of it. I’ve always was inspired to be a content creator growing up in the age of YouTube. Seeing my favorite youtubers ,like “RDC” “Cashnasty” “Liza Koshy” etc, making life look so much fun made me definitely want to do. In the beginning, I lacked the confidence to pursue my dream but luckily my brothers and one of my cousins, who is also a content creator, helped me get started. My content is made with the intent to make people smile and also to give knowledge. There’s always someone who needs a smile to brighten up a day, month or year. Knowledge and laughter is key to changing how the world is today.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
I believe that most artists, creators, and etc are blocked by their own city or community. Most people won’t even share content because of jealousy. That’s a main reason when creators make it big, they never really go back to where they came from. If these communities, cities, and states could simply show love to the creators coming from the same area that would get their content out there, as well as make others inspiring to creators to come out knowing that they have an entire area there to support them.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of being a content creator is seeing the people that watch my videos laugh. Knowing that a little 30 second video made some smile is amazing. I’ve always been a big people. Making these videos, I could be helping someone whose been having a tough few days. Knowing that someone all the way across the world is affected positively by my content is amazing.
