Message From the President & CEO

Businessman and civil rights attorney Vernon Jordan once said, “You are where you are today because you stand on somebody’s shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. If you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. It’s the quid pro quo of life.”

As African Americans, we have a responsibility to help those in our community succeed. As we celebrate, honor, and recognize the Top 50 Black Professionals and Entrepreneurs, we pride ourselves in highlighting the best in our city.

Our celebratory efforts are important to showcase the foundation and support for those doing amazing things and making great strides.

Each professional specializes in a craft like no other. Seeds have been sown, rain has nourished its soil, and everyone has poured blood, sweat, tears and sacrificed for the reward of elevation.

Successful branding rests on the shoulders of hardships. Legacy is contingent on sustainability for generations to come. And devotion lies in the hands of your pursuits and endurance to reach the metrics desired.

Our honorees serve as examples of generational wealth, relationship building and enrichment. d-mars.com is delighted to be a platform for these exemplary individuals. We are excited to recognize them from their growing accomplishments and tier performances. We appreciate all that you have done and your future triumphs from the roots of the unforeseen moments.

There is no progress without a struggle but without it, success has no home.

Sincerely,

Keith “MR. D-MARS” Davis, Sr. President and CEO
