My dad left when I was 12, it was probably the best thing that happened to me
When my dad left at the age of 12, my mom had to take care of two boys by herself.
He was a good dad, but an abusive husband. We were lucky to lose him, didnt feel like it at the time, but now when i look back at it, i am the man i am because we had to work so hard to get what we have.
Though my mom is an smart & educated woman, she did not know anything about money. She had to make decisions on her own. She was the victim of predatory financial services organizations. Banks and lenders that took advantage of her naivety.
Having just graduated from University of Southern California with a graduate business degree focused on entrepreneurship, I am opening my third for profit, social enterprise, tech start up which will provide financial services such as check cashing, loans, and other financial services to the 106 million underbanked americans in this country.
We are raising capital now and are excited help the poor with a sustainable company that does not need constant philanthropic help. If you would like to know more, please reply and i can send you my contact info
wellcome
