John Gregory, a prominent social entrepreneur, shares insights from his upbringing in an upper-middle-class environment that, while privileged, lacked financial education. His formative experiences fueled his ambition for access to power and opportunity, particularly for Black individuals. Gregory highlights the necessity of financial resources in decision-making, stressing that money buys access, which can enable significant community contributions. Through his ventures like the National Center for Urban Solutions and the African American Male Wellness Agency, he aims to impart the wealth of knowledge and resources to his communities and family, inspired by his personal journey and struggles.
If you're going to be a decision-maker, you've got to be in the room where decisions are made. And once you're in that room, you need the financial resources to make an impact.
I've raised millions for our communities, and I have the resources to create a significant impact for others and my family.
