Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to give a huge “shoutout” to my Run Tribe members: Dr. Tuere Harold-Armstrong who is a trailblazer in the real estate industry. Impacting pastors to build churches with no money as well as turning Section 8 vouchers into a mortgage is changing how economically challenged individuals are mapping the way towards financial legacies.

Also, Tracey Y. Davis and she embarks to improve how African Americans are changing the dynamics of being consumers to Shoe Box Billionaires. If you “show your receipts” of consumer based purchases, and filter those monies towards building legacy, then check the receipts you keep in your shoe box and you could have championed for the Fortune 500 list long ago.

Finally, Dr. Tajiri Brackens and she leads the way, educating society on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, utilizing childhood stories, like the Wiz to give examples of creating a workable culture and producing win-win collaborative efforts.
