Join Dudley’s at our PowerUp Symposium in Greensboro, NC at the Sheraton Greensboro Koury Center on Sunday Sept. 30 for this dynamic keynote speech from the incomparable George Fraser. His topic will be Rise or Die: Starting, Building and Scaling Black Businesses in the 21st Century. George Fraser. was born in 1945 in Brooklyn, NY to a troubled family of 11 children. After serious mental health issues with his Mom, at 2 years old he and 6 of his siblings were orphaned, then put into toxic foster homes for a total of 16 years. He was not considered to be college material, so he was sent to a vocational high school and got a diploma in carpentry…the rest is history. Dr. Fraser has ALWAYS believed: “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, that God has great plans for each of us, we must simply listen for his voice, follow directions, overcome the obstacles, and stay course.
