Young Washingtonian Makes DC Smile
October 28, 2013
Many consider Mondays to be the worst day of the week. And for many years, so did thirty year-old Washington night club promoter Massoud Adipour. A little more than a year ago, he decided to change that, both for himself and his community. Little did he know, the project would evolve to something much larger. He says that making Monday commuters smile has had a big impact on his own life.
“My life has probably changed 180 degrees since the start of the project just because by doing these projects I am reminded of these simple messages that I need as reminders in my own life.
My name is Massoud Adipour and I am the founder of Make DC Smile.
I decided to put on my 'bucket list' [list of things someone wants to do before he/she dies, or “kicks the bucket”] to hold up a sign 'Honk if you love someone' at a busy intersection. So I just got a couple of people involved and we started in August of 2012 and we did it for 6 months straight every Monday once a week. And it kind of developed into other projects and we turned it into an overall project called 'Make DC Smile'.
It was kind of like a social experiment at first but at the end of the day it turned into more than that. We realized after 5 minutes a lot people of were waving, they were smiling…you could just see the difference in people’s faces.
Of course at first you think its kind of weird because it’s like what are you doing? You’re going to a busy intersection on a Monday morning? I decided Monday is the day of the week that no one looks forward to the most…including myself.
