I Trust You

Karim Sulayman is an Arab-American tenor from Chicago. Ten days after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Sulayman teamed up with filmmaker Meredith Kaufman Younger to perform a trust experiment. Watch this silent video (set to Sulayman singing Sinead O'Connor's "In this Heart") as Sulayman stands blindfolded outside Trump International Hotel in Central Park West in New York City and asks strangers to trust him.

This heartwarming video reminded me that we all have the power to have HOPE in the power of truth and kindness. 💟

A beautiful and emotional example of the power of one in making a change in the world. One of many ways we can outwardly express unconditional love and acceptance, both in the giving and the receiving. One man standing here blindly and one women stepping forward. We all need this. The world needs this...more opportunities to express love and more opportunities to receive love. This is the type of role modeling we need to heal the world. It reminds me of why it is important to take even small risks in being generous with words and affection....it really does make a difference.

This video truly touched me, because it reminded me of my thankfulness for having found what I had been (secretly) yearning/searching for, i.e., a "community/home/family" that truly welcomed and accepted me and my religious beliefs (as well as my religious un-beliefs), without having to swear on a book to believe and live by their own prescribed, memorized and rotely recited practices, liturgies, creeds, prayers, etc. It took me 80+ years, but I finally found my refreshing, accepting new community/religious home/family in the Unitarian Universalist Church. (Forever grateful, First UUC, Milwaukee.)

This video is so inspiring! It makes me cry with the goodness of some people that still remain in a world marked with bigotry, racism, xenophobia and hate. It teaches us that beyond nationality, colour, name, etc., we're all human beings who deserve love, peace, freedom and lots of hugs. I wish I was there to hug Karim, but I'll do it here with the different people that come to my country. Thank you so much!

I love this video for so many reasons, most of all to witness how people learned from one another to lean in, to trust they would make a difference by showing they cared. I could feel the hugs, the closeness, the shy hand shake, the tenderness, the bravery the humaness and craving for connection and contact no matter how small.

The beauty of his idea, the beauty of his words, the beauty of this man, the beauty of his voice, the beauty of the music, and the beauty of human hearts that are touched by his very public and trusting gesture. I want to know where his idea came from. Where in his life's experiences does such an idea come from? When I think of how many Arab-Americans have endured the derision, even hatred, of their fellow citizens, I am so moved by his experiment that I find it difficult to express. It feels like love.
