Season 6 kicks off with a conversation that matters to every Dearborn parent, teacher, and taxpayer. New Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Mike Esseily sits down with OZ Media to talk straight about where the district stands, what's actually broken, and what's on the line when voters head to the polls on November 3, 2026 to decide on a $1.51 billion bond.
No spin. No soft PR answers. Just the real operational reality of running one of Michigan's most diverse school districts — and what happens if this bond doesn't pass.
In this episode:
• Who is Mike Esseily outside the title — his own story with Dearborn and whether he came through this district himself
• What his honest read on the district looks like as he steps into the role
• How he's leading one of Michigan's most culturally diverse student populations
• The hard truths on test scores, literacy rates, and chronic absenteeism
• What the district is doing differently for student mental health post-COVID
• Why teachers are leaving — and what's being done to stop it
• A plain-language breakdown of the $1.51B bond: what it actually pays for
• Inside the "transformational" 20-year plan — six new preK-8 buildings, full renovations, air conditioning district-wide
• How the district plans to stay transparent and accountable with taxpayer dollars
• What "success" looks like three years from now — and how parents will actually see it
This is Season 6, Episode 1 of the MotivateMe313 Podcast — where OZ Media brings you unfiltered conversations with the people shaping our community, our schools, and our future.

Two university boards. One historic moment for Michigan.
Amir Makled is running for the University of Michigan Board of Regents. Shereef Akeel is running for the Wayne State University Board of Governors. Together, they represent something Michigan has never seen — and the Arab and Muslim community can't afford to sleep on it.
These aren't symbolic campaigns. The U of M Board of Regents and the WSU Board of Governors control billions of dollars, set university policy, shape hiring decisions, and determine the future of hundreds of thousands of students across Michigan. And for too long, the people sitting in those seats haven't looked anything like the community that built this state.
That changes now.
In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, Amir Makled and Shereef Akeel come inside the boardroom and hold nothing back — their origin stories, the moment they decided to run, the pressure to downplay their Muslim identity on the campaign trail, the campus tensions around Muslim students and free speech that a board member can actually address, and the real talk about what these seats can and cannot change.
This is the episode every Arab, Muslim, and Michigan voter needs to hear before Election Day.

Over 3 million Arab Americans live in this country. Millions more Muslims call America home. So why does it still feel like nobody in power is speaking for us?
In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, we sit down with Abbas Alaweih — and we don't hold back. Before the title, before the office, before the campaign — who is this man, where did he come from, and what actually built him into the political figure he is today?
We go there. Growing up Arab and Muslim in America. The pressure to downplay your name, your faith, your heritage just to be "palatable" to voters. What it actually costs a community when they have NO seat at the table — in real terms, not talking points. Resources lost. Policies that hurt. Protection that never comes.
And we answer the question straight — Who IS speaking for Arab and Muslim Americans right now? And is it enough?
From Dearborn to Hamtramck to Bridgeport — this episode is for every Arab and Muslim American who has ever felt invisible in a system that was never built with them in mind. Abbas breaks down what it really takes to win as a Muslim candidate in America today: the money, the coalition-building, the compromises — and the moments where you have to decide what you're NOT willing to give up.
This is the real talk your community needs to hear.

They don't buy the house. They don't buy the commission. They buy YOU first.
In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, we sit down with real estate professional Sina Aoun to break down what most people get completely wrong about personal branding — it's not a logo, it's not an Instagram page, and it's definitely not something you "figure out later."
This is the branding blueprint every professional needs to hear BEFORE the first deal, BEFORE the first client, and BEFORE the first commission check.
In this episode, we cover:
This isn't soft advice. This is insider knowledge for professionals who want to be taken seriously in every room they walk into — before the commission, before the deal, and long after.

Everyone wants to be the athlete. Nobody talks about the man behind the contract.
He's in the room negotiating millions. He's the one protecting the career, reading the fine print, and making sure his client doesn't get played by the industry. And he's doing all of it as a Muslim man from this community — with his faith intact.
Ahmad Chamseddine is a Muslim sports agent — and this conversation is one the sports world hasn't had yet. Because being Arab, being Muslim, and being at the table in a business built on leverage, politics, and access isn't just rare. It's revolutionary.
This isn't a highlight reel. This is the blueprint.
IN THIS EPISODE:
▸ When he realized his calling was the business side of the game — not the playing side.
▸ Growing up Muslim — was "sports agent" even a career anyone in the community talked about?
▸ What a sports agent actually does — broken down for someone who only knows what they've seen in the movies.
▸ What athletes don't understand about the business of their own careers — and what it costs them.
▸ What it feels like to be the only Muslim, the only Arab, the only one in the room.
▸ Does being Muslim make you a better agent? How faith changes the way you see people, build trust, and honor your word.
▸ The biggest mistakes young athletes make with their careers and their money.
▸ NIL deals are changing everything — what does a Muslim athlete need to know before signing anything?
▸ What it means to be a Muslim sports agent from Detroit and Dearborn doing this at this level.
▸ The pipeline problem — why aren't more Muslims and Arabs in sports front offices, agencies, and boardrooms?
▸ Final word: What does he want every Muslim kid in Detroit, Dearborn, and beyond to walk away believing about their own potential in this industry?
If you've got a son, a nephew, a young brother in this community who loves the game — don't just show them the highlights. Show them the boardroom. Show them what it looks like when someone who looks like them, prays like them, and comes from where they come from is at the table — not watching from the outside.
The door is open. Ahmad Chamseddine is holding it.

This is the conversation that gets dismissed as "family business." The one we've let fester behind closed doors while the community looks the other way.
We're going there. No filters. No "be patient" cop-outs. Real talk.
Malika Majesty joins OZ Media to break down the silent crisis nobody wants to own — the mental health collapse, the cycle of abuse, and the misogyny wearing religious clothing in Muslim homes and institutions. We're talking scope. We're talking about accountability. And we're asking the question every community leader hopes you won't ask.
IN THIS EPISODE:
▸ When we say "silent crisis" — what are we actually talking about? The scope you don't see.
▸ Why is this conversation still off-limits in Muslim spaces in 2026?
▸ Untreated trauma: what it looks like 10, 20 years down the line in a marriage. In a family.
▸ Abuse in Muslim homes — is it getting worse, or are we just finally naming it?
▸ "What happens in the home stays in the home" — break that down. Where did that rule come from, and what has it cost us?
▸ Why has misogyny in the community actually gotten worse — not better?
▸ Mosques, boards, community leaders — are they doing enough? If not, what's actually missing?
▸ One policy or practice every mosque should implement tomorrow.
▸ Detroit/Metro Detroit resources that exist right now — that most people don't know about.
▸ Final word: If you could say one thing to every Muslim person listening right now, what is it?
This isn't an attack on the community. It's a survival briefing. Male-heavy audience — this one's for you. Not to point fingers, but to ask: what does accountability actually look like? What are we teaching our sons that we should be teaching our daughters — and vice versa? If "protecting our sisters" is the value, what are the actions that back it up?
Hit that like. Share it. Someone in your circle needs to hear this and doesn't know how to start the conversation.

What does it take to leave everything behind to save your family?
Roberto Arce didn't have a plan. He had a purpose — get his family out of Honduras alive. In this episode, Roberto takes us through one of the most raw, unfiltered immigration stories you'll ever hear. No politics. No talking points. Just one man's impossible decision, an unimaginable journey, and the brutal reality of what it means to start over in America with nothing but faith and determination.
This is not a debate about immigration policy. This is a human story about survival, sacrifice, and what a father is willing to do to protect the people he loves most.
