As a speaker, I aim to showcase how a deeper understanding of ACCESS can shape a more inclusive and accessible world. My philosophy underscores the importance of ethical considerations and inclusivity as key elements in the evolving landscape of finance and business leadership.

My story begins in Flint, Michigan. You probably forgot about Flint, and yes, access to clean water is still a problem. It was there, in 1997, that I founded the first black-owned digital marketing agency in Michigan.

I scaled the business to 6 figures in 8 months, opened two office locations, hired 12 employees, and acquired over 150 clients across the US. I eventually sold the agency to a 100-year-old printing company.

In 2021, I was invited to do a TEDx talk. My talk, “ The Access Code, is an aspirational yet practical worldview philosophy that introduces people to new ways of thinking – thinking that can serve as a conduit for transformation. It is one of my most popular keynote talks.

I use this platform to teach audiences how to shape a world where economic and business practices are aligned with the greater good of society.
