Today we’d like to introduce you to Thaddeus L Miller.
Hi Thaddeus L, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Howdy. As we’ve previously discussed I started this philanthropy and entrepreneur journey around 2018-2019.
This journey has taken many turns and came to many forks in the road.
So today I’ll be taking you all on my latest venture.
The adventure of BLIGHT. Improving the city one block, one neighborhood at a time! Let’s get into.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road on this project has been fairly smooth. Working with great partners and a amazing childhood friend to improve the streets we played on as children, Blocks we drove down as teenagers, neighborhoods we looked to move into as adults.
We’ve discussed the journey to get here in detail in previous articles. We’ve went through the struggle, hardship, and headaches. We’ve also talked about the good times and did not forget the happy thoughts.
Now I’m in a good groove of knowing what to expect on the road. Knowing when to get off the road and walk down the sidewalk.
In this latest venture I’m improving the road literally and figuratively.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m currently engaged in a massive block remediation campaign across Dallas County.
I go into neighborhoods with high crime ,poverty, blight, and visual despair. I talk with the residents on ways they think that can improve it and I make a personal professional assessment on what can help make the community thrive and a bit safer.
From there my team and I work with a childhood friend Marcos Garaza and his amazing construction company (SIGNATURE DALLAS) and get to work. We go in and fix parks, repair broken gates, trash removal and lawn maintenance to name a few things. We also have ambition goals going forward to add to this unique program. This work we’re doing is the First of its kind. So far we’ve lowered crime in several neighborhoods throughout the city of Dallas. I’ve adopted the motto,
When you see better things around you, you do better things within you.
How do you define success?
Most people in our society define success with money and assets.
I personally define success in the amount of smiles you deliver in your lifetime. How much good you leave behind. It should always outweigh your bad by a lot.
Success comes when someone looks back on your journey and say he or she improved the lives of others sometimes at the cost of your own comforts.
As long as you chase your own greatness you will find success within that journey.
Pricing:
- Unfortunately it do cost to improve communities. Especially parts of the community that gets forgotten by the city. Those areas deemed unworthy of tax dollars.
- We do as much free work as we possibly can. However some assessments come at a material and labor cost.
