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.
