Today we honor Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Long before I had proof that I could build something of my own, he became my first major client. That moment validated me in a way I’ll never forget. It told me I wasn’t just trying entrepreneurship — I was capable of it.
The world knows him as a Civil Rights leader, founder of Rainbow PUSH Coalition, presidential candidate, and relentless advocate for voting rights, economic equity, and inclusion. He pushed America to expand who gets a seat at the table.
What I’ll always remember is this: while he was changing history, he also changed my trajectory.
Rest well, Reverend Jackson. Your legacy lives on — in a nation, and in me.
