Diverse Foundations
Transitioning into entertainment law and production, Charles further expanded his skill set, delving into media and speech curation for public figures in the entertainment industry. He was able to help create pitches for reality television shows and work through special contracts with prominent attorneys. However, his aspirations led him to law school, where he sought to bridge his passion for community advocacy with his affinity for business.
During his tenure at law school, Charles became deeply involved in the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Clinic at Elon University School of Law, where he gained invaluable experience assisting small businesses with a range of legal concerns, from entity formation to trademark compliance. As a leadership fellow, he spearheaded initiatives focused on combating the school-to-prison pipeline by mentoring youth and fostering entrepreneurship within the community.
