Adrian Henderson

Adrian Henderson is the son of a preacher man.  As such, he has been immersed in community development, since childhood—a lifelong creed modeled before him and defines him today. Incorporating strong ethical disciplines for more than three decades, the entrepreneur and community stakeholder mentors others to do the same.

Specifically, Henderson transfers and transposes his business acuity into an impressive construct of social engagement, personal development, athletic coaching, training and management into a thought leadership platform with quantifiable results.

Second only to his passion for feeding the mind and the soul, Henderson, a compelling public speaker is equally committed to bringing thought leaders together for peer-to-peer summits designed to elevate impoverished and underserved sectors.  “I know the power of transformation and the exponential impact it can make in the lives of those seeking direction.”

Innovation, particularly computer technology, factors greatly into Henderson’s business and community model. His popular Kingston 11 Jamaican inspired restaurant, located in the Uptown District of Oakland (CA), hosted a community-led thought leaders roundtable for the 2019 AfroTech Conference: the largest gathering of computer scientists, developers and technology executives in the United States. 

Henderson ascribes to a full court mantra.  The arts and culture enthusiast is ever promoting the value of a well-rounded life skills philosophy –challenge the mind, touch hearts of the needy, shepherd the aimless, comfort the weary, inspire the aspiring--with pure motives to heed the call of humanity.  He exemplifies this edict every day.
