If you knew where I come from and what I have been through, you would understand who I am. If we focus on the human connection, our lives will be enriched. If we understand the struggles of others, it might humble us and give us a different perspective. Unless we hear someone else's story, how can we ever get a different perspective? It is through these stories that we gain a sense of appreciation about what type of people we share the world with. From growing up in a war zone to almost spending two decades of my life as a police officer in Canada, I have a unique and extraordinary view into human lives. Differences between people in various parts of the world are often highlighted. Yet, I believe that despite all the perceived differences it is our commonality that is the key to understanding each other. No matter what part of the world we call home, human struggle is part of life everywhere. Despite the struggles in our lives, it is our attitudes that determine our destiny. Rare acts of violence around the world create fear and promote the illusion that our way of life is constantly under threat. Amplifying and embracing the core values of humanity, such as compassion, kindness, understanding, and self-responsibility, will paint a more complete picture of what is happening in our world. As a child, I witnessed the destruction of my birthplace. Almost thirty years have gone by and Afghanistan is still not peaceful. Despite all that goes on in our minds, immigrants try to live a normal life, maintain a positive outlook, and remain hopeful that the next generations will experience less turmoil.
Bari Emam was born in Kabul, Afghanistan. He was fifteen years old when his family escaped the war-torn country in the late 1980s. Arriving in Canada in 1990, Bari only spoke a few words of English. About ten years later, after completing high school and several years of post secondary education, Bari's passion to help others led him to become a police officer. Bari believes in working hard and never giving up. He made the most out of every opportunity as a Canadian. In the first fifteen years of his career as a police officer, he was the recipient of ten different awards, including for outstanding service, lifesaving, and a medal of meritorious service from the Lieutenant Governor of BC. Bari also completed a Bachelor of General Studies, and a Master of Arts at the University of the Fraser Valley. He continues to have a passion for learning and helping others and is nearing the end of completing a second master's degree with a goal of completing a doctoral degree in psychology. He strives to increase understanding between Canadians and those who are new to Canada, helping them see that they are not all that different from each other. Bari believes that we are all connected as humans, and as such are all part of this country's fabric. Bari believes that discrimination and oppression can eventually lead to frustration and violence which divides the human family. If we treat others with dignity and respect and try to see them as human without judgement, we remove the biggest obstacle standing in the way of unity. Bari, his wife, and their three children live in the Lower Mainland of BC.
