Cory Beal, Sr. is the Founder and CEO of Rekindled Dreams, an organization that’s committed
to providing enlightenment to what many consider a bleak future for young adults within the
African American community. Cory’s motivation for starting the organization comes from his
experiences growing up as a Black male in the challenging neighborhoods of Chicago, IL. Cory
was one of the city’s top athletes, yet devoid of any true leadership, Cory did not maximize his
athletic opportunities. And those missed opportunities have motivated him to always have an
everlasting connection and impact on the lives of his children.
As a member of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., Cory serves as a mentor to many aspiring young
professionals nationwide, who consistently reach out to him for guidance and support, and who
admire his heartfelt ambitions, along with his charismatic nature. Because of his interest in
reducing children’s exposure to concentrated poverty, which is an obstacle to economic mobility,
Cory has connected with Onyx Capital Financial Solutions ,one of the world’s largest financial
services companies, bringing over 15 years of banking and insurance expertise which grants
him the phenomenal opportunity to educate and empower individuals and families with the
economical sophistication that was once reserved for only the rich and powerful. Mr. Beal Sr is
on a mission and he is driven by his passion to cultivate positive change within the African
American community.
