He was named “Pride of Lebanon” on Lebanese and American media outlets for supporting Lebanese citizens with motivational speeches and inspirational content that he publishes on social media platforms. He is the first and only Lebanese Author and Motivational Speaker from the Southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh, and with a combination of over 40 thousand loyal followers on both Instagram and Facebook, he is making history in Lebanon.
Ali R. Jaber, better known as Pride of Lebanon, is a Lebanese-American author, writer, and motivational speaker.
Born on April 7, 1993 in Toledo, Ohio, United States, Jaber studied at Henry Ford College in Dearborn, Michigan with a focus on business administration and digital marketing. Jaber published his first book ‘Public Speaking: Motivational Speeches In Depth’ in 2021.
Lebanon has recently faced rapid hyperinflation and the Lebanese pound lost value against the US dollar. Lebanese citizens have been growing increasingly frustrated with the corruption of their government. Increasing economic pressures made Lebanese citizens reach a breaking point.
Jaber wanted the people of Lebanon not only to survive but to prosper and rejoice at the same time! He made inspiring videos that would give his audience advice on how to achieve their personal goals and the goals of their country.
The very first of Jaber’s motivational videos was an attempt to show the Lebanese people that someone cared about them and that Lebanese nationals who live abroad loved them, soon his messages began to spread quickly across Lebanon.
The latest of Jaber’s speeches was “Our Lebanon Is Collapsing” and this speech was directed to the people of Lebanon urging them to not give up hope and advising them that the corrupt leaders of the country must resign from their positions in order for Lebanon to prosper again. Jaber’s speech gained the immediate attention of desperate Lebanese citizens on social media platforms, reaching 60k views in the first 48 hours of publishing.
Some quotes from the speech:
“The leaders of Lebanon failed at protecting the nation, the people of the nation, and the nation’s currency.”
“We can say that once upon a time Lebanon was heaven on earth with its mountains, beaches, and beautiful scenery. However, I’m saddened to say that the Lebanon we once knew is very different from the Lebanon we have today.”
“Every corrupt leader in Lebanon who punished the people of our nation with corruption will face greater punishment on the day that they depart this earth.”
Jaber’s encouraging speeches have found a home in the hearts of desperate Lebanese citizens who need support and love during difficult times. Lebanon has faced many challenges in the past decade and in August 2020, Lebanon’s capital Beirut was hit with a major explosion that killed 200 people and injured 5,000 more, this left the people of Lebanon devastated.
