About Me
MY name is Joey Noble, I live in Miami Florida and in June of 2013 I was involved in a serious car accident, while leaving my friends baby shower leaving me a C4 quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck down. A friend gave me a wake-up call, providing a much needed spark for me to stop focusing on all the things I lost, and what I cannot do, and focus on what I could still do, and what I could learn to do, and thenoblemanbrand.com was born. My goal is simple, to start on a new journey, creating something from nothing, providing a message from the mess. That’s when I began to learn and actually started paying attention to what was going on with me, and the world around me.
Among all of the police brutality cases, unnecessary remarks by our former president and other things, one thing stood out the most. The economic forecasting that the average household net worth of African-Americans would be $0 in 2053. I know I am not the smartest guy in the financial education arena, but I knew the things that I had learned, and still learning on my own journey, could at least spark a fire in someone else’s life to make sure this prediction does not become reality, not only from my community, but for any community.
The Birth of Greatness
In the early 20th century O.W Gurley brought 40 acres of land in Tulsa Oklahoma. Due to extreme racism, and not being able to sell to white people, Gurley sold his property to African-Americans who were seeking opportunity, and it soon developed into a small community. We know this community today by the name it was given by Booker T. Washington, “Black Wall Street”.
Black Wall Street was a community of African-American business and land owners, consisting of black-owned pharmacies, doctor offices, convenience stores, barbershops, jazz music lounges, hair salons, schools, churches etc.
Booker T. Washington was also starting Tuskegee University, George Washington Carver was innovating agricultural techniques and creating multiple inventions using the peanut. Madam CJ Walker was creating a haircare Empire, at the same time, Marcus Garvey was starting his business, Black Star Cruise Line, raising millions of dollars in today’s money, from African-Americans who wanted to be a part of building something great together, and who can forget the grandeur of the Harlem Renaissance.
Keep in mind, during this time, the Spanish flu 1919 was affecting 50 million people, yet, these pioneers, educators, businessmen/women and innovators were unimpeded in being deterred from their mission. And let us not forget to mention one little fact, all this took place during World War I.
World War I, you know, one of the worst wars the planet has ever seen, yet such great accomplishments were achieved. 100 years later, during another pandemic (coronavirus) the minority community seems to be at a disadvantage, and the thought of re-creating what was just done 100 years ago, seems impossible. But it is not impossible. Yet, the descendants of the people that accomplished such great feats just 100 years ago are at risk of having a family net worth of $0 1 30 years! That my friends, is a serious problem.
The Mission
We are preparing to create a low-cost, in depth educational platform, where individuals can go and increase their financial IQ, entering the world of wealth creation whether through Real Estate, Business Creation or Wall Street. Let us partner together and start rebuilding excellence.

The Process
The journey of a thousand steps starts with the first one.
The road to financial freedom does not start with a lot of financial and mathematical jargon and equations, but it starts with the decision to make a change.
Numbers Don't Lie
The Empire continues
“My people are destroyed due to lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)
Whether you are a believer not, those words forever ring true. The knowledge is not hidden, or hard to understand, we just need the courage, discipline and will to obtain it.
