From Incarceration, to Father, to Developer, to Innovator, to Community Problem Solvers
An American Innovator Unveils Proprietary Concepts and Platforms Tailored for Top Brands, with a Mission to Foster Community Empowerment
Born with a natural affinity for problem-solving and innovative thinking, our founder has navigated a journey where the highs of leadership were often met with the lows of real-world skepticism and disloyalty. Yet, steadfast resilience has continued to drive his pursuit for true innovation, with a personal and professional history that sings the tune of unwavering dedication.
Starting in 1997, he stepped into the world of web building, crafting a coded platform that enabled live-streaming of weekly talent shows. This was a time when home computers were a rarity, and mobile apps were an unheard concept. As the years passed, his career path led him to Excel Telecommunications, where he rapidly rose from a telephone service representative to a project manager in just four months.
Oncor Telecommunications witnessed a transformative era under his leadership. Armed with creative solutions, he optimized scripts to boost sales, equipped representatives with distinct skill sets for various campaigns, and drove business growth through pioneering sales and marketing strategies. His ability to recognize and leverage the potential of creative leaders helped Oncor establish a strong presence in a fiercely competitive consumer marketplace.
Following the tragedy of 9/11 and the relocation of Oncor Telecommunications to Virginia in 2003, our founder chose to stay in Dallas, grounded by his family of three sons and close relatives. This period marked the inception of his venture into web building with the objective to assist major brands with step-by-step action plans and concepts. However, he discovered the hard truth – not all were open to new ideas, with many gatekeepers exploiting those ideas for their own gains.
Today, with his sons by his side, our founder is prepared to share his unique concepts and platforms, tailored specifically for top brands. The focus of these solutions is not only to foster partnerships with businesses, corporate entities, and government, but also to create meaningful connections with communities. These pioneering concepts, a first of its kind, aim to build bridges while bolstering community support.
Our founder, a proud American of African and Indian descent, seeks to partner with entities that prioritize community empowerment and are open to embracing innovative solutions that make sense.
UMYO, "Un-Masking Your Opinion" - (United Movement For Youth Opportunities) aims to challenge the status quo and disrupt the market. It is a revolutionary concept that will transform the way businesses market themselves and empower communities. UMYO is here to make a difference, and it invites everyone to join the movement towards community accountability, also providing a sense of unity and belonging. By working together towards a common goal, we can create a better future for ourselves and our communities.
Gregory believes that the answer to many of our communities’ concerns has been hidden in plain sight for generations: democracy. “The only way to empower communities is through community accountability. Despite our differences, coming together on the things we agree upon is the only way to move forward. As we face an uncertain future with the rise of AI and the displacement of millions of jobs, it is crucial that we come together as a community to find solutions and create a better future for ourselves and future generations.” People are asking how we can help, Barnard Gregory’s response is simple: “Register”!! We need every business owner, every employed and umeployed person in this country to register.
Barnard Cherry’s journey to content creator to community problem solver is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the ability to turn adversity into opportunity. His commitment to creating a better future for his family and his community is an inspiration to all.
