Ali’s career began in the 1988 as a volunteer for presidential candidate Reverend Jesse Jackson, which was the doorway for his involvement into political and social activism. He has worked for or with nationally celebrated figures that include President Barack Obama, Rev Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III, Dick Gregory, John Hope Bryant, Michael Jackson, Congressmember Karen Bass and Imam W.D. Mohammed.

A native of Gary, Indiana, Najee migrated to South Central Los Angeles where later his fearless activism helped spearhead Sherrice’s Law – the first law named after a slain African-American child in the United States. From leading the charge for police reform to negotiating gang truces, Ali continues to evolve as the people’s champion and confronts injustice wherever it may be.
