McDonough, GA man gets recognized with his own day!

Few people expected McCambry, the son of a low-income single mother, to grow up to be a hometown hero. But that’s just what happened. Now, McCambry has a  holiday named after him in his hometown of McDonough, Georgia –

Mr. Reco McDaniel McCambry Day.

On February 4th, Councilwoman Kim Varner got emotional as she declared Reco McDaniel McCambry to be a hometown hero. She described living down the block from McCambry in McDonough, Georgia.

2020 has been a big year for McCambry, and for those who benefit from the knowledge he shares. June saw his induction into the Forbes Business Council, where he hopes to help others like himself to thrive in business. In the winter he released a book, “The Plan: After Police Reform that will Guarantee Social Justice & Progress for the Black Community,” in which he shared his in-depth experience as a Black man growing up in America and a plan to improve the  conditions of Black communities around the country.

These accomplishments top a long list which has lead him where he is today, including an Industrial Engineering degree, a Master’s in Business Administration, membership in two of the world’s most prestigious business honors societies, and starting four multi-million-dollar businesses. My Gawd! He is the TRUTH!

Most importantly, McCambry uses his skills and resources to help others. In addition to  providing financial education and services through his company Novae, he also offers free mentorship to others as well. Reco is now giving away copies of “The Plan” for free  at www.ThePlan2021.com for the duration of Black History Month.

His goal? To equip as many people as possible with knowledge of the specific actions they can  take to empower Black communities and undo some of the damage done by centuries of  openly racist legislation.

McCambry credits his late mother and grandparents with raising him with the discipline and  family values that have made him a major force for good in his community. He remembers his  first odd jobs: scraping gum off of desks in McDonough schools and sweeping the local  

McDonald’s parking lot. His family instilled in him the belief that all work had dignity even as  they taught him to reach for the stars. In a photograph taken after the announcement of the  holiday named in his honor, McCambry stands surrounded by his family and holding a framed  picture of his late mother.
