AWARD-WINNING BLACK ATTORNEY, ZULU ALI, SPEAKS WITH STAR JONES ABOUT HIS JOURNEY TO SUCCESS

Attorney Zulu Ali was a recent guest on The Star Treatment, a prestigious video series hosted by renowned lawyer and television personality, Star Jones. During the show, Ali, who is a practicing trial lawyer, activist, former police officer, and U.S. Marine veteran, recounted his inspiration to become an attorney.

He commented, “My grandfather, A.D. Reynolds, worked as a janitor, cleaned law offices at night. As a little boy I would go along with him and one night while cleaning the office of an attorney named Tyrus Cobb, he took me into the library and introduced me to Attorney Cobb by stating this is my grandson, he is going to be the next Avon Williams [Avon Williams was a great civil rights lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee]...

Attorney Cobb began telling me about Williams and other great civil rights lawyers and how they changed the world. I left there that day thinking that is what I wanted to do.

20 years later I was a police officer and was in probate court. The Judge was the attorney my grandfather introduced me to 20 years earlier. When he called the case he stated in front of everyone in open court "everyone this is the next Avon Williams" he then went on to tell me how great a man my grandfather was. I became very emotional [and pursued my original passion to become an attorney].”

Discover How New NCAA Ruling Will
Economically Boost Blacks In College Sports

Written By Award Winning Entrepreneur Chuck Starks

The latest NCAA Ruling (backed by the Supreme Court) that allows student athletes to receive money for their image and likeness will change the financial prospects of many Black families in America within a very short period of time.

Since students can get paid directly from sponsors, schools and others, that income will translate into an increase in the median net worth of Black people as a whole.  

Most Black families have one or more athletes in their family.  

Sports is what we do.  

Black Americans are the best in the world and we excel in sports at a younger age.  I estimate that students as young as 12 years old will start receiving a monthly sponsorship (income) from schools, major sporting goods companies (Nike, New Balance, Adidas, etc.) as well as money from sports agents who will pay them for a first-right-of-refusal to represent them in the future if they go pro.
