We had the good fortune of connecting with Fazon Gray and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Fazon, is there something you believe many others might not?
The term ‘fake it till you make it’. I feel like you do things at the capacity you are able to do them and that just elevates you. Some people get too caught up in trying to fake it til they make it and they end up just faking it.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I want the world to know the same thing that they would know about me when I die. That I was a hard worker, I made shit happen, I connected people to brands & I changed peoples lives. That I lived my life with gratitude and I only competed with myself, everyday. I literally made something out of nothing. My drive sets me apart from others helping me always to see a way even when it feels hard, It’s never impossible – I am possible.

 

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Some of my favourite sports in New York are: The Highline, Central Park, Chelsea Piers, Williamsburg Brooklyn, Corner Social, Silvana & The Citizen M Rooftop. If you are interested in being part of the Harlem culture then definitely check out Angel of Harlem. You will literally see most of the people in Harlem, amazing vibes, great music, and good food and drinks.

 

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Thanks to my parents there are multiple organisations that kept me out of trouble and changed my life. I would like to give a huge shoutout to Our Children’s Foundation, Boys & Girls Harbor, Drexel Duke, Hans Hageman, Al Reynolds, Alvina Alston & Trevor Julien.
