    The ForbesBLK 50 List is more than a catalog of success; it’s a powerful acknowledgment of wealth, innovation, and influence across industries as diverse as clean energy, technology, and entertainment. McDonald’s inclusion highlights his transformative contributions to financial services, where his visionary leadership has driven progress and opened doors for others.

    Reflecting on his Morehouse journey, McDonald credits the College for instilling in him a commitment to servant leadership and a passion for community upliftment. “Morehouse taught me that leadership is about impact — about using your talents to create opportunities and inspire change,” he shares.

    McDonald’s achievements stand as a beacon for current students and alumni alike, illustrating the boundless possibilities that come from aligning purpose with persistence. His recognition on the ForbesBLK 50 List is not just a personal milestone but a testament to the enduring influence of the Morehouse brotherhood in shaping leaders who change the world.
