Today we’d like to introduce you to Rico Davis. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Rico Davis is a multifaceted individual who excels as a community leader, trusted advisor, sports and entertainment promoter, and beloved sports commentator. He possesses a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and has successfully launched several businesses of his own. Notably, he has ventured into modeling acting in movies and theater productions with prominent roles. Rico’s passion for sports, nurtured during his time as a committed former athlete, has led him to become an invaluable advisor to present-day top athletes. Moreover, he founded a sports apparel line named UBAL, which has garnered significant attention from renowned athletes across the country.
Determined to make a positive impact, Rico dedicates substantial time to recruiting, negotiating, motivational speaking, and actively participating in various charitable and civic organizations throughout the United States. His strong belief in the power of education to achieve success drives him to motivate others, regardless of age, to strive for greatness in their endeavors. Through his unwavering dedication, Rico has helped numerous individuals secure scholarships for higher education and assisted others in launching their own businesses.
However, despite his tireless efforts in the community, Rico faced unforeseen challenges due to radiation exposure. Nevertheless, he believes that fate has different plans for him. This led him to expand his reach and create a non-profit brotherhood group named Salt & Pepper Gang (SPG). The primary goal of SPG is to empower distinguished gentlemen with outstanding character to give back to the community through the “ReachOneTeachOne” philosophy.
SPG has achieved remarkable accomplishments, including launching programs like the “Tie & Belt Boys 2men” event, where young men are taught how to tie a tie and properly wear a belt. The “King 4A day” event allows SPG members to spend a day with a young man, treating him with respect and allowing him to wear a crown and cape. The group also dedicates time to visiting Senior Citizen Homes, spreading warmth and compassion to the elderly. Additionally, SPG established a notable panel discussion titled “What Women Want,” providing a platform to express their perspectives across the United States.
The profound impact of SPG’s work was recognized when it received a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, personally signed by President Joe Biden. Rico Davis and the Salt & Pepper Gang are now available for bookings, eager to share their invaluable insights and make a positive difference at your next event. In the words of Rico, “It’s not where you are from; it’s where you will end that matters.”
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it was not smooth. Being the only male to receive a college degree my goal was to set examples for anyone of my family member behind me, including my kids. Growing up in a neighborhood where I saw negativity, crime, violence, and death on a regular was the norm. I took part of every activity possible. After losing my mom as a teen. I became a man early with responsibilities. My struggles made me who I am today. Work for what you want. Don’t accept anything free because it won’t last. When you put in the work you will appreciate it more.
