Before the interview with
Thomas Moorehead, he changed the course of the direction about stressing the important
of GIVING BACK in your own way. Meaning, it don’t have to be money. It can be
your time and your mentorship.
ANSWER
We
need to give back to our Under Grad schools that started us out. Most graduates
give back more to their Graduate Schools.
Graduates can check with their company to see if they provide Matching
Fund programs. Those dollars no matter
how much helps. It is up to us to find
the best ways to give back to Grambling State University. My wife and I have
given back to schools across the country including Bethune Cookman University
and Howard University. The key is we
want our kids to get an education. For
Grambling, we partner with individual student funding. Meaning, we just don’t
give one time. We make sure that
particular student receives money from freshmen year to senior year. We even created a Thrift Store to make sure
students can buy the finest clothes at a discount so they have confidence to
get their JOB.
QUESTION
Who
is THOMAS MOOREHEAD and where did you get your CONFIDENCE?
ANSWER
I am
from Monroe. I watched the local Dentist and Pharmacist being admired by so
many people. I wanted to be like them.
So, I majored in business at Grambling State University. I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WANTED TO DO. Two of my friends at Grambling inspired
me. One of my friends owned a McDonald’s
Franchise and the other friend is my Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Brother asked
me about opening a Car Dealership. I
didn’t want to be a Car Salesman, because I thought the IMAGE of them was
wearing a Plaid jacket and smoking cigarettes. (“This made me laugh. Mr.
Moorehead got jokes. Ok, back to the story. “Kingi) My Frat Brother gave me a
different view…A DIFFERENT IMAGE. When I
met the Car Dealership owners, they look like business people from Wall
Street. I decided to go on that path and
DEFINE MY OWN IMAGE as a Car Salesman. I
wanted to buy a Cadillac Dealership. I was told to start out with a Buick or Pontiac
Dealership. It fueled me that someone
told me what I could not have when I always enjoyed looking at luxury cars and
hotels. We have to believe in ourselves
and make it happen.
QUESTION
How
did you do it? How did you make your
Automotive and Hotel Franchise a Reality?
ANSWER
You
have to get it and make it happen. You have to be in the right place at the right
time. God chose us to make it happen because he watched us plant seeds in the
community by GIVING BACK. My Uncle and
Grandfather were ministers who raised me.
They taught me to GIVE BACK by paying your BLACK TAXES and being a
CORPORATE CITIZEN by being ethical in business and life.
