Business Description
AAAG, Inc. is a tax-exempt not-for-profit youth organization that serves metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding cities in the Southeast region. The mission of The AAAG is to empower all people and communities with the tools necessary in achieving success in their families, finances, education, spiritual development, business and personal growth by helping one another through the talents, skills and knowledge of other people of color. I decided to start the business when I was sitting in church one day and I felt like I had a vision while sitting there to start an organization that will help families with their disparities. The biggest challenge for us was getting the vision off the ground and getting people to believe in our cause. The thing that I am most proud of is that the business started in my home and now we are still here 14 years later in a warehouse able to service more than 1500 homes on a monthly basis. My future plans is to start another location in my hometown Memphis, Tennessee. When this happens I will probably breakdown with emotions as this has always been a dream of mine as well to go back to my roots where everything started.
