Across 110th Street
Everyone remembers the first time they saw a dead body. As a child, David recalled his first encounter: his grandfather lying still, lifeless, and unproductive in his coffin. He carried this image with him for the rest of his life, always aware that time is finite and that one must use it wisely.
The air hung thick with the scent of gas-station fried chicken and desperation. It clung to the worn brick walls of the Harlem brownstone where David spent his childhood, a constant reminder of the precariousness of life in the 1960s. His mother always filled his home with music, primarily featuring jazz divas like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, and Dinah Washington. She also loved Duke Ellington, whom David later learned wrote or collaborated on over one thousand compositions, creating the world’s most significant recorded personal jazz legacy. While she enjoyed jazz and R&B, she occasionally listened to classical music. He believed that his mother’s favorite instrumental jazz recording, Springtime in Africa by Duke Ellington, effectively combined elements of all three genres. As a boy, he loved reading the copy written on the back of the Duke’s Piano in the Foreground album cover. The entire studio session featured Ellington in a piano trio setting, emphasizing his keyboard prowess instead of the big band arrangements more typical of his later recordings. The back cover explained:
“Springtime in Africa delves into rich poetic imagery and melodic rhythms as Ellington masterfully captures the dynamic spirit, natural beauty, and cultural significance of this enchanting season on the African continent. The composition reveals a delicate balance between light and dark, with moments of introspection and bursts of fervor. One motif that emerges throughout the piece is that of tension and release. The musicians skillfully craft moments of heightened intensity, only to subside into introspective passages. This interplay creates a dynamic listening experience, mirroring the ebb and flow of life itself.”
David’s mother was born in Opelika, Alabama. She later moved to Cleveland, Ohio, after his grandmother accepted a position as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) at the Cleveland Clinic. This was during the time when Alma Davis, the first Black head nurse at the hospital, became the Clinical Director of Hospital Nursing. Eventually, his grandmother relocated again, this time to Harlem, after being hired as a registered nurse (RN) at Harlem Hospital, located at 135th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard, where David was born.
David’s mother was a skilled seamstress. Her hands, gnarled from years of stitching, worked tirelessly to make ends meet, her nimble fingers evidence of her grit and determination. Yet, despite her efforts, money was always a scarce commodity, a phantom that haunted their modest home. The small size of the rooms in their brownstone apartment, a building David would purchase outright decades later, required him to always keep his bedroom clean. His mother hung a movie poster in the living room. The poster was for a film called Across 110th Street, which is set in Harlem, but that wasn’t the reason she loved it. All of the movie’s songs were written and performed by a musician named Bobby Womack, whom his mother claimed to have dated when she was a schoolgirl growing up in Cleveland. David didn’t believe her at first until he read a Jet magazine article about Womack, right after he released his biggest hit, If You Think You’re Lonely Now, which confirmed that he was indeed a native of Cleveland, Ohio.
Quite often, his mother would burst into his private sanctuary, picking up elements he needed for his amateur magic tricks—top hat, stuffed rabbit, magic wand, colorful handkerchiefs, magic cards, etc.—up off the floor, saying, “David, I told you to keep this room clean! We ain’t got much space, so the space we got can’t be filthy. Boy, I worry about you; sometimes you ain’t got the sense God gave a chicken!”
She would then usually look up at the painting her younger sister, Tiffany, had given to David just before she passed away from cancer. The beauty of her sister’s painting, hanging above his toy chest filled with plastic dinosaurs and children’s books, always brought her a sense of calm.
David learned early the sting of poverty; the constant worry etched on his mother’s face was a familiar sight. The lively energy of Harlem, its music, and its dreams existed in stark contrast to the persistent hunger that often gnawed at his stomach. His early education was a patchwork of public schools, where he navigated a landscape of underfunded classrooms and underpaid teachers, yet somehow managed to excel. Books became his refuge, a portal to worlds beyond the cramped confines of his apartment. He devoured everything he could get his hands on, absorbing knowledge like a sponge, finding solace and escape in the written word. He developed a keen intellect, a thirst for understanding that transcended the limitations of his environment. He was a bright, inquisitive child, his mind brimming with ideas and dreams, but the realities of his economic circumstances cast a long shadow, threatening to suffocate his aspirations.
The turning point came unexpectedly, a harsh lesson etched into his memory. His mother, already struggling to make ends meet, fell victim to a predatory payday loan. The exorbitant interest rates and the seemingly insurmountable debt threatened to consume them entirely. Still a teenager, David witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of financial illiteracy and predatory lending practices. He saw his mother’s ordinarily unshakable spirit crushed under the weight of debt, the relentless cycle of borrowing and struggling. This issue went beyond financial scarcity; it highlighted injustice, a system designed to keep people like his mother in poverty. That experience, the crushing weight of economic vulnerability, ignited a fire within him. It was a fire of anger, of righteous indignation, but also of determination. He vowed then and there that he would dedicate his life to fighting against the forces that perpetuated this kind of economic inequality.
He devoured books on finance, initially focusing on personal finance, but his appetite for knowledge extended beyond that. He became fascinated by the stock market, poring over charts and financial reports and studying market trends and strategies. He learned about Wall Street, just ten miles south of his neighborhood’s closest subway station at 135th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. He was initially captivated by its mystique but soon disillusioned by its inherent inequalities. The system, he realized, was rigged against those who lacked access to information and resources. It was a partisan structure built on exclusion, benefiting a select few at the expense of many. This realization solidified his resolve. He would use his knowledge to empower those who had been systematically disempowered, providing them with the tools and information they needed to take control of their financial destinies. His journey into the world of finance was long and formidable.
He worked multiple jobs, often juggling late-night shifts with his studies, his determination fueled by the memories of his mother’s struggles. He earned a degree in finance from a local university, paying his way through school with federal grants, federal loans, scholarships, and part-time work at fast food restaurants and hotels. He later transitioned into the technology sector, leveraging his technical skills to enhance his understanding of financial markets. His background in technology proved invaluable, as he saw the transformative power of the internet and the potential it held for standardizing access to financial information.
During a brief stint working in the surveillance room at a casino hotel to pay off his excessive student loans, David often zoomed in on the computer monitors of the casino managers and pit supervisors, meticulously observing how the economic world operated from within. He saw how algorithms and data analysis could be used to make informed gambling choices, similar to the investment decisions made by financial institutions manipulating the market for their own gain. He also noticed the disparity in access to information and resources between privileged individuals and excluded communities, particularly women.
David became a news fanatic, watching financial updates on his favorite business channel whenever possible, bypassing the gossip-filled news stories he found on numerous politically biased networks. He observed how traditional financial institutions often preyed on the vulnerable, charging exorbitant fees and offering complex, opaque products that benefited themselves rather than their customers. This reinforced his earlier conviction—that this wasn’t just about personal finance; it was a matter of social justice.
He began by sharing his knowledge informally, mentoring friends and family members. His clear and concise explanations quickly garnered a following. He saw the hunger for financial literacy and the yearning for economic independence. Word of his expertise spread rapidly, and he decided it was time to take his work to a broader audience. That’s when he created ThePriceBandit.com, a website, LinkedIn page, and YouTube channel dedicated to sharing information about online stock trading, mainly geared toward women who, as he observed...
