Success After Many Attempts
USA California Oakland,Sunday, June 7, 2026
Kilimanjaro Robbs, a Jamaican‑born entrepreneur now in California, runs the Hidden Genius Project, a nonprofit that equips young Black men with tech and business skills.
The U.S. Advantage
- Education: Scholarships, Pell Grants for low‑interest student loans.
- Entrepreneurship: Small Business Administration (SBA) offers loans to start or buy a company—rare elsewhere.
Robbs counters the myth that there are no opportunities, pointing to free programs and services available for anyone willing to improve their situation.
“You can move from where you are to somewhere better.”
Community Matters
Robbs values the supportive network he finds in America. “Having someone at the end of the phone line who cares about your well‑being,” he says, “creates a sense of community that fuels great achievements.”
Keep Trying
His core message: persistence pays off. The chance to succeed exists if you actively seek it and use the tools at hand.
