With almost 95K followers, thousands of comments, likes, and story views, Mostafa Amir Modak has earned his influencer title. The twenty-year old is reaching so many as an inspiration and motivation to his fans. After overcoming a number of hardships and obstacles, Mostafa’s resilience and adaptability are what help him reach the amount of people that he has.
Mostafa is a marine, and investor, and an influencer, his instagram is crafted to be fun, inspirational, and refreshing. “I really enjoy the process of this, getting to collab with people, having people care about what is happening in my life, and having the opportunity to help change theirs,” he says. “It has opened a lot of doors to my growth and success on instagram and getting to meet and work with brands and celebrities.”
After finding some fame when he received some shoutouts from a few celebrities and having posted himself connected to Kodak Black’s streetwear clothing brand Sniper Gang and other celebrities, his popularity became higher. He has collaborated with American rapper Kodak Black known for his music and bad boy persona, Krysten Ritter, Hasan Johnson and Francesca Fargo, plus many more. Mostafa says he is very excited and open to other collaborations.
Making it as an influencer isn’t too difficult to achieve according to Mostafa, “Anyone can do this; just keep it simple, stay humble, promote yourself or business as much as you can, learn from the best and have good connections,” he advises. But it does take some work and a particular motivation. “You have to go against all odds and really boss your life up.” In his success, he has moved into doing what is best for him and is inspiring others to do the same. He didn’t expect to become this impressionable though when he started his instagram two years ago. “This is really just a creative outlet that grew into something huge and rewarding,” Mostafa said, smiling. “I’ve been through a lot, and had a rough upbringing, but I get to share these trials and connect with people in a way that inspires and speaks to them.”
Mostafa was born in New Jersey, but his family originated from Egypt and he moved with them and lived there for a while before returning to the States. After growing up with challenges and setbacks, he earned his G.E.D. and joined the Marines. Even there he had faced a number of challenges. “I really feel like I am growing up, if I could go back and have the option to undo some things I wouldn’t because that is what has made me who I am today,” Mostafa says. At just twenty years old, he is moving into the adult world through his experience in the Marines, his childhood troubles, and his connections to celebrities, brands, and other influencers.
“I worked hard to get where I am today. I recognize that I am an inspiration, and can do my part to connect with others in whatever they are struggling with,” Mostafa says smiling. “I went through a lot and made it out the other side.” With each post, more and more inspired fans comment, share, and like what he is putting out. The twenty year old influencer doesn’t plan on slowing down now. He has plans for the future for the expansion of his brand and collaborations. “I plan on getting sponsorships, working with more influencers, and taking things to the next level,” he says excitedly. And his followers are expectant, his presence is growing and his personality truly shines through.
In the short period of time that Mostafa has grown, he did not expect to have the following that he has today. “I started my instagram as like a creative outlet and something fun to have and I ended up as an influencer. I didn’t plan this at all, but I love where it has taken me.”
