The Assets & Ancestry National Tour Reclaims the Narrative of Ownership and Legacy

NEW YORK, NY — From the digital landscape to the historic streets of the Tri-State area, The Assets & Ancestry National Tour officially concluded its high-impact spring run this April. Led by Funlayo Grace™ Founder & CEO Jennifer Grace Jennings, the tour served as a masterclass in financial resilience, industrial sovereignty, and the power of ancestral roots.

Launched in tandem with Jennings’ groundbreaking book, Homelessness to Homeownership: How I Purchased Four Properties In One Year, the tour moved through three key hubs, sparking a movement centered on economic literacy and generational wealth.

The Journey: From Digital to Pavement

The tour kicked off in March with a series of global online sessions, setting the stage for the physical "mobilization" that followed:

  • Staten Island: Focus on the "Industrial Blueprint" and domestic manufacturing.

  • Newark: Deep dive into urban revitalization and "Sovereign Systems."

  • Harlem (The Grand Finale): A culminating event at the Harlem Commonwealth Council, hosted by Doug Davis, bridging supply chains and heritage.

In the Headlines: A National Conversation

The tour and its foundational principles were featured across major legal, cultural, and community-focused media. Access the full features and references below:

  • The National Law Review: Featured for its innovative approach to land use, property rights, and the legal frameworks of "Sovereign Systems." (April 2026)

  • Harlem World Magazine: Documenting the tour’s deep roots in the Harlem community and its focus on reclaiming local economic power.

  • iHeartRadio / Doug Davis: A deep-dive conversation on the "Voice of Modern Manufacturing" and cultural reclamation. (October 2025)

The Mission Forward

The conversations started in Newark and Harlem are now being integrated into the FG App™—the digital nervous system that will allow users to track their own "Seed-to-Shelf" legacy and manage their assets with the same precision Jennifer uses to manage industrial campuses.

"Ownership is the only path to true sovereignty, from inspiration to infrastructure."
