One of the most important ways to have a large impact in life is by focusing on communities that are ignored and overlooked. These communities are often the ones most in need of help, tools, and services but for a variety of reasons the largest players in most industries chose not to work on serving them. We’ve been so touched by the thousands of members of our community who are working on serving the underserved from tackling food deserts to building empowering solutions for the neurodiverse. Each week, you’ll find us highlighting folks serving underserved communities.

Everything I do is to financially empower underserved, underrepresented, underbanked minority communities. My financial products and services provide hope to those in these communities that they can change their financial situations. Everybody may not have money to invest into one of my coaching program or products. However, they can get financial education from me through one of my books, social media, or low cost courses.

Some people see mental health as a crisis in America. I see it as an opportunity for growth. As an individual who suffered from social anxiety for the majority of my life, medication is not an end-all solution. Our purpose in this world is to serve. If we did this right, there would not be people categorized as ‘underserved’. Mental health in America has become a billion-dollar industry. The rate at which individuals are being transacted through the court system is unbelievable. The numbers are climbing at a rapid pace. Read more>>

We donate one toiletry bag to a youth in foster care for every bag purchased. We match one for one so when you carry your bag you know that someone who needs love and support is getting what they need. No one should have to carry their lives in a garbage bag. We are changing that by sending bags to foster closets across America. Our wish is to help a youth in foster care feel that they have something new and nice to carry their personal care items. They deserve it. Read more>>

As a homeowner, when it comes to dealing with your homeowner’s insurance, most are intimidated and have a “don’t poke the bear mindset” when it comes to calling in claims. As a contractor with a niche in insurance roofing, I get confronted with concerns such as: “I’ve never called in a claim in 20 years”, “what if they deny my claim and drop me?”, or “won’t my premium go up exponentially?”. While all of these concerns hold merit, the main issue with dealing with insurance claims is the mystery of them and all one needs is to know the process and have proper representation from a trusted contractor.

Serving underserved youth and families means building a healthier and safer community where they can be connected with the resources that they need. Resources that can help them overcome barriers that adversely affect their individual health, academic, and social challenges.

There are many people and children today with high food allergies to dairy, eggs, nuts. gluten, soy, etc. Unfortunately these people are underserved by mainstream bakeries. That’s where Pure Vegan Cakes come to their rescue. We make delicious custom cakes for every occasion. We go the extra mile and take on the most complex dietary restriction to create a cake that our customer can eat and enjoy. Everyone deserves cake they CAN eat. Read more>>

Serving people who were born in a hostile or underserved community is huge for me. It aligns perfectly with what I do, every contractor or person that works for me is or has been struggling with finding employment and people who trust them to truly let them flourish. I invest in Killeen Texas, and some parts are not the greatest. I want to buy so many homes out there that people have no choice but to buy or rent a home from me. Read more>>

I’ve always wanted to give back to the community. I recently sponsored my first Non profitable charity organization, New Hope Foundation in Ghana. We make donations to different shelters, clothings, food etc. I am currently in the works of creating an organization in Baltimore as well so that I could be able to make donations to different shelters.
