What Jeff Speaks On
Each talk is built from lived experience. Jeff arrives knowing your audience, and leaves them with no excuses.
Making the economic case for Black male investment as one of America's greatest untapped opportunities. Jeff draws on two decades of ground-level experience to reframe the conversation from liability to leverage — and challenge institutions to move accordingly.
Unpacking the architecture of a community institution that spans 20 states and 7 countries — and why it works. This talk dissects what makes community resilient, replicable, and fundable, for leaders who are done treating people as programs.
Very few people have sat at both the Rikers Island policy table and a Brooklyn barbershop. Jeff bridges that gap in a way no consultant can. A raw look at what it takes to make policy that reaches the people it was supposedly designed for.
Connecting macro economic shifts to street-level reality. Jeff provides a framework for action before the window closes — addressing how automation, AI displacement, and the digital divide are converging in urban Black and Brown communities right now.
A policy, culture, and community talk with the Black family as the unit of analysis. Part sociology, part policy critique, and part call to action — this talk reframes what support for Black families can look like when institutions stop apologizing and start acting.
Raw, tactical, and honest about what entrepreneurship looks like when you have everything to lose and no safety net. Jeff shares the founding story of the Gentlemen's Factory — from 7 people in a basement to a national institution — without the Instagram version.
