Marius Blake

Phone: (901) 607-1094

Born in Memphis, TN, Marius Blake is a Community Leader, Entrepreneur, Builder, & Outdoor Enthusiast. Growing up in the impoverished community of Hyde Park within Memphis, TN, Marius experienced a lot of hardships that could’ve led him down a different path. With the guidance and love of a praying grandmother and church members who were like family, Marius beat the odds to become a leader. Graduating from Northside HS led him to a career in Cosmetology as a barber and stylist. As a barber, he was able to minister and help many men and women in the community with his giving spirit by hosting food drives, clothing drives, and family events. These actions, not fueled by anything other than a love to see people win, caught the attention of many of his friends who encouraged him to convert his love into a 501c3. Marius has expanded his efforts to include creating more community gardens, and events for children to cultivate their love for community, earth, and other humans. The Annual Fishing Rodeo is just one example of an event that brings joy and awareness to our natural resources here in the Bluff city. Marius has been a person we can all aspire to be like: One that uses his talents to bless others in a mighty way!
