I have known my guest for episode 90, John Cornes, close to two decades. I was first introduced to this North Memphis native as a student at LeMoyne Owen College. It was there where John Cornes earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Accounting, and has used that knowledge in various industries, including airline, medical and government. He is currently a Real Estate Affiliate Broker representing local, national buyers and international buyers and sellers of real estate investment and personal properties. John is also a real estate investor, owning properties in various parts of Memphis. Take a listen as John walks us through his time as a student attending LeMoyne Owen College in the late 80's. He also discusses pledging Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. and his deep sense of pride for attending the only HBCU in Memphis, TN. You will also discover how and why Mecca Productions and the Brothers 7 was birthed. One thing that has always stood out to me about John is that he has always been an advocate for his community. He strongly believes in community involvement and has exhibited this through his fraternity APhiA, the Memphis City Schools Connect Mentoring Program and by annually volunteering for the National Civil Rights Museum and the Diggs Krauss Sickle Cell Walk. John was recognized as “Greek of the Year” by the Memphis Pan Hellenic Council and was nominated for the Commercial Appeal Community Service Jefferson Awards.
