Bronzeville, Chicago – The intersection of 35th Street and Martin Luther King Drive might appear as just another crossroads in the heart of Chicago's storied South Side. But for those who know, it is far more than that. This corner was once the epicenter of African American economic power, a beacon of resilience and prosperity. It housed the legendary Seaway National Bank, Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, and the Johnson Publishing Company – three institutions that collectively formed the cornerstone of financial services, insurance, and media for an entire generation.
Today, this legacy is being reimagined in the cloud by The Sir Roy G. Biv Foundation Trust. No longer brick-and-mortar bound, the Trust’s Soul Card™ is a digital blueprint of the infrastructure that once thrived in Bronzeville. It doesn’t seek to reinvent the wheel but to dust off these proven models and infuse them with AI, modern technology, and a renewed mission of empowerment.
The Trust’s message is clear: We have everything we need.
The question is, who will step forward to seize this moment?
The Power of Legacy: A Playbook Ready to Be Rewritten
In its prime, Seaway Bank offered banking services to an underserved community. Supreme Liberty Life was the first Black-owned insurance company in the northern United States. And Johnson Publishing, home to Ebony and Jet magazines, became a cultural megaphone for Black America.
These institutions were not merely businesses; they were pillars of a self-sustaining ecosystem. They provided jobs, financial education, cultural representation, and a sense of ownership. They were blueprints of how economic power, when harnessed collectively, could uplift entire communities.
The Sir Roy G. Biv Foundation Trust is building on this blueprint. The vision is simple yet profound: Take these legacy business models and replace the physical infrastructure – the property, plant, equipment, and services – with today’s AI-powered equivalents. The Trust invites experts in banking, insurance, and media technology to join a movement poised to redefine community prosperity in the digital age.
“We don’t need to start from scratch,” says the Foundation's leadership. “We need believers who are ready to build on this winning formula.”
Faith, Fintech, and the $25,000-per-Second Equation
Every second spent hesitating is a second of opportunity lost. The Trust estimates the cost of procrastination at $25,000 per second for a vision that is valued at $2 trillion. The urgency is palpable. In the world of digital innovation, speed is the currency of success. Others are already executing, launching platforms, and capturing markets.
But for the Trust, this is more than a race for economic dominance – it is a matter of faith.
Quoting 2 Peter 3:8: “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”
This biblical time frame translates into the relentless push to execute now. Believers, not skeptics, are called to this mission. The Trust’s invitation is not for the faint of heart. It is for those who recognize the divine alignment between past success and future opportunity.
A Cloud-Powered Renaissance Sparked By Sir Roy G. Biv
At the core of this initiative is the Soul Card™, a digital replica of the infrastructure that once stood at 35th and MLK. This platform integrates AI-driven solutions into:
Banking – Empowering community lending, financial literacy, and wealth creation.
Insurance – Offering a digital-first health insurance policy integration that ensures patient-centric wellbeing and convenience for all stakeholders involved, especially doctors, dentists, mental health counselors, and pharmacists.
Media Technology – Amplifying voices, stories, and opportunities through AI-enhanced content creation, patient data, and payment information that are protected in accounts and wallets with the tightest cybersecurity in compliance with the most stringent regulatory laws and frameworks, from HIPAA to GDPR.
Imagine banking services powered by algorithms that eliminate bias. Insurance claims processed in seconds, not weeks. Media that reaches millions with a few clicks. The Trust envisions a Renaissance powered not by physical buildings but by cloud infrastructure that transcends geography.
The seed money has already been raised. Healthcare providers are receiving letters of invitation to join this platform. The momentum is building, and the Trust is looking for those who can help turn vision into reality.
A Global Network, a Bronzeville Heartbeat
In an age where content can be created and distributed globally in minutes, the Trust is positioning itself as a media powerhouse. Articles worthy of The Financial Times or Wall Street Journal can be penned and published online in under ten minutes. Soon, the Trust will produce TV commercials and digital ads that reach audiences on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Discord, and Telegram.
The vision extends beyond a single location. Picture teams in New York, London, Lagos, and Dubai, all producing content, managing banking operations, and facilitating insurance policies – all coordinated from the heart of Bronzeville.
“We have the power that Earl B. Dickerson, Jacoby Dickens, and John H. Johnson could only dream of,” the Trust declares. “We are connected to the world, and we have the power to reach everyone, instantly.”
This power has been given a name: Sir Roy G. Biv. This name symbolizes the alignment of the Father’s Will, the Son’s Obedience, and the Holy Spirit’s Guidance.
A Call to Action: The Trust Seeks Believers
The Trust’s mission is not about nostalgia – it is about future-proofing community empowerment. It is about using AI, fintech, and modern media to revive a formula that worked in the past and will work again.
The invitation is open to healthcare providers, banking experts, insurance leaders, and media technologists who are ready to join a movement rooted in legacy but oriented toward the future.
It is a call for believers – those who see the potential, feel the urgency, and are ready to act.
As the Trust prepares for its next phase, it asks a simple question:

The Future is Now
The Bronzeville of the 20th century was a beacon of what was possible when communities took ownership of their economic destiny. The area was home to icons like poet Gwendolyn Brooks (the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize), playwright Lorraine Hansberry (A Raisin in the Sun), and jazz legends like Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole. Musicians such as Muddy Waters, Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, and Hayes Alvis performed in Bronzeville, contributing to Chicago's reputation as a major hub for these genres. The Sir Roy G. Biv Foundation Trust is reviving that spirit, retooling it with the most advanced technologies of the 21st century.
In a world where every second counts, the Trust is not waiting.
Neither should you.
