Special Boys to Men Series with Haki Shakur Ammi

Published: June 14, 2020, 9:15 a.m.

Everyone has a dad or father story that has become a cornerstone of their existence. That story may be a painful one or a powerful one but the impact of it stretches into multiple areas of our everyday lives. Join me as I interview 13 influential men about the impact that a father story has had on their education, business, families, and self-care.

Intentionality was the spark that ignited entrepreneurship in Haki Shakur Ammi. He did not have entrepreneurs in his family to advise him on what the journey would look like. Fortunately, knowledge about the life of a street hustler deterred him from wanting to move in that direction. The examples he saw in the streets of Baltimore was all he needed to see. Instead, he decided to enlist in the Navy.

Education and self-development became Haki's focus while in the military. He would read often and listen to network marketers as his first steps towards financial freedom. This is what sparked a stronger self-belief that he could be successful in entrepreneurship.

His process for becoming Unstoppable!

As people saw the steps that Haki was taking they realized that there was a level of wisdom that he had to share. People started asking when he would be publishing his own book. So when the opportunity arose for him to partner with Dr. George Fraser and Les Brown on the Unstoppable project he said yes. It was a moment where he would be mentored by men who were in the position where he saw himself. It was another investment in his journey to success.
