Cornell Killebrew was born and raised in Prince George’s County, MD. He got a lot of inspiration from his grandmother & grandfather who were both entrepreneurs. Joyce Killebrew is a published author with her own publishing company. While his grandfather Mack, owned a wedding photography studio on U Street, DC. The biblical scripture Joyce always told him “..It is more blessed to give than to receive” Acts 20:35, always resonated with Cornell. This scripture stuck with Cornell from his teenage years to-date. As an African American, Cornell always saw the disproportionate wealth gap for minority business owner compared to other ethnic groups. This included the lack of resources, funding, and capital investing that goes into black and brown businesses. With his experience in marketing, advertising & tech, he sought out to find a way to help minority business owners grow their customer base through his platform GreatGiftsClub.com.
