Our story began as a simple name change.

Co-founder and President, Terrell Galloway was tired of hearing the n-word circulate within his friend group. The controversial word is often used as a term of endearment among black people, however, Terrell felt it was time for a change. He originally suggested using the word Negus, meaning Ethiopian King. Even though the connotation around this word was enriching, it didn’t have a ring to it. Then he thought well why not just King?

While in college at Duquesne University studying journalism, Co-founder and CFO, Sean Spencer connected with his friend Terrell and Because of the mentorship they received, they decided together that they were going to start their own mentoring program surrounding the concept and mentality of being a Future King.

During their junior year of college, Terrell and Sean began developing Future Kings Mentoring program.
