Someone San Diego Should Know: Roosevelt Williams III [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
Roosevelt Williams learned a lot from his great-granddad as a kid growing up in Valencia Park in San Diego.
He learned a trade cobblery and a whole lot more. Matthew Cook Sr. taught his great-grandson honor, integrity, “how to make your name a good name,” Williams said. He taught him how to look a person in the eye, how to work, how to save money, how to maintain a home. He even taught the youngster etiquette, like how to behave at the dinner table.
Today, Williams, 34, wants to pass on all that he learned to entrepreneurs through the business organization he founded two years ago, Young Black and ‘N Business. The organization is “devoted to serving and motivating the overlooked and underserved majority, working together as one to be healthy, happy and successful,” Williams said.
