Lorenzo Lewis, who was born while his mother was incarcerated, has overcome significant obstacles to build a successful career and inspire others. Despite a challenging start, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Webster University.
Today, he is a two-time TEDx speaker and continues to break new ground in both the nonprofit and business worlds.
Recently, Lorenzo stepped down as Founder-In-Residence of The Confess Project of America (TCPA) to focus on growing TCP Ventures, his for-profit business, while staying committed to mental health and social impact. He now holds an emeritus position on the boards of both TCPA and L&J Empowerment.
In his new role, Lorenzo is dedicated to expanding two brands—Confess Health and Confess Schools—by taking TCPA’s proven mental health curriculum into hospitals and schools across the U.S. This initiative aims to train individuals to become mental health advocates, helping them address issues like emotional well-being and opioid addiction.
At the same time, Lorenzo is working to drive growth in his family-owned businesses under The Lewis Family of Businesses. His time at TCPA saw tremendous success in mental health advocacy, and now, as the for-profit side grows, he sees new opportunities to innovate and expand.
His wife, Jordon Lewis, has recently been named CEO of TCPA, becoming the organization’s first female leader and ensuring the mission continues.
A breakthrough for TCP Ventures was securing $150,000 in funding from the Signal Fund, which will help the company reach 120 million more people through its mental health advocacy programs. TCPA’s $20 million valuation highlights the brand’s strength and potential for growth.
Lorenzo expresses his deep appreciation to everyone who has supported TCPA’s mission to reduce the stigma around mental health in underserved communities. He remains energized for the future, eager to merge social impact with business success.
