Welcome to Your Opinion Doesn’t Matter (YODM) – The Ultimate Debating Game! We created YODM to spark lively discussions, challenge your thinking, and bring people together. Our game is packed with 90 thought-provoking cards, a 30-second sand timer, and a unique 'For It or Against It' die, all designed to fuel your intellect and boost your confidence. Whether you're debating with friends or family, YODM guarantees a great time filled with laughter and learning. Join us and let the debates begin!
My name is Lamont Kirton, and I’m the creator of Your Opinion Doesn’t Matter (YODM) — a Brooklyn-born entrepreneur, lifelong debater, and community leader dedicated to critical thinking, culture, and conversation.
I developed YODM to create a fun and challenging space for exchanging ideas, debating real-life topics, and thinking beyond surface-level opinions. It’s not just a game — it’s a platform that strengthens communication skills, builds confidence, and brings people together through meaningful discussion.
The For It or Against It mechanic forces players to step into different perspectives, making every round unpredictable, funny, and surprisingly insightful.
I’m also the Founder and Director of Working Wonders Starting Home (WWSH), a nonprofit based in East Flatbush, Brooklyn since 2007. We provide after-school programs, sports, chess instruction, mentorship, mental health support, and literacy services for youth and families.
WWSH is committed to strengthening our community from the inside out — by educating, empowering, and uplifting the next generation through consistency, creativity, and care.
In addition to YODM and WWSH, I authored Bromides: A Book of Original Manhood Quotes, a powerful collection of affirmations rooted in manhood, growth, and generational wisdom. I’ve also been recognized by the NAACP and NYC agencies for my work in youth advocacy and public health.
I believe that dialogue — especially when it challenges your views — is one of the most powerful tools we have for growth, connection, and change. Whether through games, mentorship, or storytelling, I create spaces that encourage people to think critically, speak confidently, and grow together.
