- A builder with receipts—community + systems + scale: Dr. Dre Taylor (Kansas City, Missouri) shared a track record that includes a 175-tree fruit orchard, a 200-member urban farm co-op, aquaponics production in the tens of thousands of pounds, mentoring 200+ youth, USDA grant review work, and city-level project oversight.
- Why Ghana—and why now: His core message was freedom and future. Ghana represents a place where Black people can build without constant warfare from the system—so he’s creating infrastructure for a safer landing for those ready to “jump ship.”
- Turning bush land into a Black community: Starting from raw mountainside land that required machetes just to enter, he’s built roads, power infrastructure, boreholes, lighting, and reverse-osmosis drinking water—and is now executing a large-scale residential build-out.
- 105 units, condo tower, and resort-level amenities: The vision includes 105 total units, with duplexes/homes plus a planned condo building (about 92 units) featuring amenities like a rooftop restaurant/pool, gym, spa, laundromat, urgent care, and on-site parking—designed for comfort and security.
- Beyond Collective: investing as a people, not as individuals: He introduced the Beyond Collective model: pooled land acquisition, development, bulk materials sourcing (including China pipelines), and strategic assets—paired with a Mauritius-based fund structure and a long-term plan to anchor development in hard assets like gold to reduce currency risk.
