Sometimes the smallest exposure can leave such a great impact in a young person’s life.”<br /> <br /> <br /> As a kid growing up in the rough streets of Brooklyn, the only exposure I had was witnessing drug deals, stepping over empty crack vials in the playground- and falling to sleep by the sound of gunshots during the night. I was confined to my “block,” and travelling outside of it meant risking the chance of getting beat up or even killed. For many, growing up in the hood is no different than being locked up in a prison camp. I was finally set free at the age of 16 when a church member scheduled a job interview for me on Wall Street. Seeing all these monumental buildings, marble mirrored lobbies and corporate people with their suits & ties and briefcases opened my eyes to the possibilities beyond the hood.<br /> <br /> At the tender age of 19, J. R. started a multi-million dollar Real Estate Investment firm, on the 80th floor, Tower I, of the World Trade Center, New York from the ground up. With his background in media arts, in 2001, he was the Executive Producer for the movie "One Punch" w/ Evander Holyfield.<br /> <br /> After graduating from high school, he attended Long Island University where he studied Media Arts and Music. Despite his busy work schedule, he’s setting his sights on getting his MBA at Harvard Business School, Fall of 2011.<br /> <br /> Inspired by the drive and work ethics of his role model Reginald F. Lewis, J. R. is determined to become a multi-Billionaire by the age of 45. His Marketing firm, Niche Marketing Group includes clients such as Billionaire and close friend Loida Lewis, Ilyasha Shabbazz, the daughter of the great Malcom X and legendary Bert Padell.<br /> <br /> J.

He will donate the million dollars to one lucky homeless. Viewers at home get to vote for their favorite homeless participant as they are faced with many challenges of their own.<br /> <br /> J. R.: The Philanthropist<br /> <br /> Being a philanthropist at heart, in 2007, J. R. founded Project Youth Exposure, a youth empowerment program. He enlisted the help of many celebrities. “Participants of Project Youth Exposure are vulnerable young individuals who are struggling with issues that should not be shouldered by any child. Without positive exposure, these children have less of a chance of succeeding and most will fall victim to drugs, alcohol, and ultimately incarceration.” Every quarter, J. R. takes several underprivileged kids and exposes them to a more positive environment, while building their self-esteem and character.<br /> <br /> Fundraising— J. R. is Founder and CEO of the Global Wealth Coalition, an investment networking organization whose corporate office is directly on Wall Street.
