Derek Hall

Guest Speaker Derek Hall came to speak with us at Jack Yates in Mr.Strong's sixth period class. He told us that a no could turn into a yes, because a no is only so far from a maybe and a maybe is only so far from a yes. He graduated from Jack Yates. He had a mentor and if it weren't for him he wouldn't be the man he is today. His mentor showed him how to work a camera and everything about it. He made money in Yates taking others' pictures for a dollar. He has a company called black Jesus media with partners and is is very successful today.
