Barak Swarttz

My name also means lightning in Hebrew.

So I wear this lightning bolt because I do feel very much a calling to be a light to people.

And I think that this is a beautiful...

story of this.

When October 7th happened, and I have no idea how far you scrolled, probably not too far.

When I started making content, just talking about my experience, you can go back and you can see

that I was here.

I was like really pissed off.

I was screaming at the camera.

I was angry.

I was basically contributing to more noise as what most of the people are doing right now.

And then you sit there and you watch critically, critically thinking like, what are we doing?

Like, what are we achieving?

By arguing, shouting, fighting, killing, debating, commenting, the whole nine yards.

What are we doing really?

Like if we could measure and thread the needle, what needle has been thread?

Because the state of the union right now is really bad.

It's really, really bad.

So I'm thinking what I'm doing is not helping.

What other people doing are not helping.
