Blake also formed a development and investment company with Cushman and Wakefield retired Chairman Mr. Jack Mckinney, Sr. as Managing Partner of Blakewood Development, LLC and Blakewood Ventures.
Blake Anthony remembers being 11 or so when he first saw “Live Aid” aired in 1985. He was deeply moved by the spirit of the event with everyone coming together to rally to combat said issue or issues. Said togetherness’s spirit still rings true and is a profound inspiration to Blake to this day. As such, Blake is bringing many together for the sake of bringing Women’s health awareness and creating jobs to combat unemployment and gun violence with a monumental Global 26hr Pay Per View Women’s Health Awareness and Anti-Gun Violence Concert on May 23 in Chicago.
