As the son of two Southern-born parents, including one who chopped cotton as a child in the Mississippi Delta, I’m quite familiar with the wealth gap that has affected generations of black Americans and the many related financial challenges that continue to exist. Helping people address these challenges is why I launched my practice a decade ago. MBC Financial Strategies is on a mission to provide the tools and services people need to create financial stability, generate economic opportunity and build multi-generational wealth; a rising tide lifts all boats. When it comes to finances, everyone wants the freedom to live their life and do what brings them peace of mind. Our team is here to help you protect the people and things you care about, capitalize on opportunities and grow intentionally over time. No matter how your life changes or what you need to realize a strong financial future, we have you covered. I am an Agent licensed to sell insurance through New York Life Insurance Company and may be licensed with various other independent unaffiliated insurance companies. Additionally, I am a Registered Representative of and offer securities products & services through NYLIFE Securities LLC, (Member FINRA/SIPC), A Licensed Insurance Agency and a New York Life Company.
