Meet our CEO
Robert Douglas believes no one can unpack their dreams efficiently without God. Education was never viewed as the path to a better life in Robert’s household. As a child, his mother didn’t impress upon him the importance of school and making the most of the opportunities that education afforded us. Robert’s childhood was filled with abandonment, multiple levels of abuse, and abject poverty as his grandmother attempted to nurture nine fatherless children. The neighborhood Robert grew up in was poverty-stricken, gang infested, and generally hard on fatherless, young, black men like him. Robert didn’t consider education as a way out until his oldest brother was murdered as a result of gang violence. Robert’s brother was his world and without him life felt empty and without purpose. Seeing Robert headed down the same path as his brother, his grandmother pleaded with him to at least graduate high school to give himself a fighting chance in society. Robert promised her he would and he did.
