Ebony magazine recognized Gray as an entrepreneurial icon, business mogul and best-selling author. Raised in the impoverished south side of Chicago, Gray defied the odds and became a self-made millionaire by the age of 14.

In his rise from poverty to national and international prominence as an entrepreneurial icon and pre-eminent power speaker, Gray has inspired millions around the world. He was featured by AOL Black Voices as making Black History 2008, and was named as one of the Most Influential Black Men in America by the National Urban Leagues Urban Influence magazine. Gray also is the co-publisher/editor-in-chief of Prominent, an online edutainment magazine. At the age of 24, Gray has achieved more than many achieve in a lifetime.
