Creator

The founder and creator of the 4-40-400 project was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, his death date and the creators perception of those who were in the fight being asleep with the need for an awakening to have people working to fulfill his dreams. The one dream the creator committed to was the one for the American negro people of his lineage specifically. 

 

The project is a social venture collective where the sponsor organization manages the community programs, the creator owns the brand.  This organization distributes the benefits to the community, eligible individuals, business.  The project team makes redistributions to eligible supporters.  This allows the creator of the project and its staff to have the freedom determine the brand and business investments and allows a desegregation between the organization and the social business ventures to research solutions for long term investments.

​​

In 2015 the creator had a project for moms who lost children and children whose moms would be incarcerated on mothers day because they lacked resources to pay bail. The project was shared two years later in 2017 and used to build a movement that supports getting them out of jail before mothers day because they did not have bail money. This project is being washed out of that history.  (See links)
