Black Men - My Story Episode 4 (Brandon Gibson)
Summary
The current day narratives of Black Men are often scary, discouraging, and often non-existent in terms of their added value to American culture. However, these are narratives carried outside of the true authors themselves. Listen, share, and celebrate in the ongoing series of personal stories of Black Men who defied the odds. Let them talk and discuss their rights of passage, in the hopes that it will give you a new perspective in their real lives.Driven by legacy and faith, Brandon N. Gibson founded Light Rock Holdings LLC. Based in the
Northeast Region, the real estate investment, development, and consulting firm focuses on acquiring undervalued and underutilized assets in NYC and Northern New Jersey. In his over 14 years of real estate investment and marketing experience, Brandon has been at the helm of investments and acquisitions in multi-family properties in all five boroughs of New York.
In the spirit of his father, an immigrant from Barbados that set the bar and planted seeds for
revitalization, Brandon continues to carry the torch as his business expands. When asked to
describe his work and passion in layman’s terms, he humbly states, “we don’t just want to build
houses, we want to build communities.”
