Meet Terrance Pryor, Esq. | Attorney, Activist, Advocate & Real Estate Investor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Terrance Pryor, Esq. and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Terrance, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I’m originally from Chicago, IL. And I literally take it with me everywhere I go and into everything I do. Chicago taught me a number of different things that have played a major role in my success thus far. But most importantly it taught me that if I want something, then to go get it. That mindset has carried me throughout my entire life and has helped me continue to grind it out even when the odds are stacked against me.
Chicago also taught me to remain true to myself no matter what. Growing up in the city, you were constantly asked who you were and who you were affiliated with. You better have had an answer and you better have stood by it no matter what. I still live by that code: To know who I am at all times and to stand on it no matter what.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well, I am a corporate Data Privacy Attorney for General Motors by trade, where I help to advise the company on the legal implications of the many different privacy laws that are surfacing across the globe. I work with a wonderful team and we try to help GM continue to be a leader in the automotive industry. Outside of my everyday job however, I also work on a number of different ventures that range from community advocacy to real estate investing.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Here is a list of places we’ll visit, things we would do, and food we would eat. In no particular order:
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost, God. He has truly provided for me in ways that I could not have imagined. Secondly, My family! My mother Marcia McIntyre for teaching me to never bite my tongue and to stand strong. My father Terry Pryor for being my wise counsel. My brother Terrell Pryor for always keeping me on a straight path. And my sisters Latonia and Shurlon Thompson for teaching me how to be fearless. Finally, I would like to thank and recognize the rest of my family and friends who have supported me along the way. I would not be where I am today without them!
