I was Homeless For 6 Months of My Life
I was homeless.
Credit score in the 400s.
A brother in Compton with nothing.
Now, folks see the success and think it’s a fairytale.
But this isn’t a story — it’s real.
And it’s why I do what I do.
Not everyone can relate to me today — but ...they can relate to success stories like this one.
That’s why I spotlight the heroes, sheroes, and entrepreneurs rising up from nothing.
Through operationhope, we’ve helped over 450,000 Black businesses start, grow, or thrive.
That’s halfway to our @1mbb_2030 - 1MBB goal — 1 million Black businesses.
Because we can’t just talk about change. We have to be it.
Anyone can sign up for HOPE services — they’re for everybody.
Thanks to@our partner @shopify
But we focus on those at the bottom of the pyramid… because Black folks built this country and never got paid.

Positivity doesn’t guarantee success. But negativity guarantees failure.
We’ve spent decades over-relying on government to fix our lives.
Now it’s time to take ownership.
I created a free Business Plan for Black America — and 40–50% of it doesn’t require ...government intervention.

When Intelligence Isn't Enough: When Smart People Fail
Wealthy Vs. Poor Neighborhoods
Why are wealthy neighborhoods quiet and poor neighborhoods loud?
Because in America, peace and quiet is a status symbol.
Wealth isn’t just about money — it’s about environmental control.
Long driveways, gated communities, clean streets… all signals of peace you can buy.
...
And when your job is high-pressure, you pay for stillness at home.
But in poor neighborhoods — where I grew up — it’s the opposite.
Loud. Chaotic.
You can’t control your surroundings.
You’re hustling just to survive.
You’re looking over your shoulder.
And the police? Too often, they’re harassing—not protecting.
It’s hard to dream big when you’re drowning in noise and distractions.
It’s hard to create when survival is your full-time job.
And statistically, poor neighborhoods often come with 500 credit scores.
Want to know your community’s financial health?
👉 Go to my HOPE Financial Wellness Index, punch in your ZIP code — and see for yourself.
Let’s fix this.
Let’s build a world where peace isn’t just for the wealthy.
Love and Light. ✨

A man may build the house, but a woman turns it into a home. In my home, I’m the eagle, and my wife is the butterfly. I’m the head, and she’s the heart. Together, we make it work.
I build, she nurtures. I go out to make things happen, and she keeps me grounded so I can make it ...happen. It’s all about partnership.
The key is knowing your roles and embracing them, because when you move as one, there’s nothing you can’t achieve together.

I want every college-educated, high-earning white man in this country to succeed — because we need them.
The economy needs them.
But here’s the truth:
There simply aren’t enough of them to grow America’s economy alone.
If we keep excluding minorities from ...opportunity, we all lose.
Because 40% of this country is Black and Brown right now — and in less than 10 years, we’ll be the majority.
My rich friends need my poor friends to do better —
if only to stay rich.
This isn’t about race or politics.
The real color that matters is green.
And we all need a seat at the economic table.
Huge thank you to @CNN for having me on to discuss America’s economy and the Operation HOPE Business Plan for America. 💼🇺🇸
