Pharaoh Kelley From Homelessness to Entrepreneur
Imagine life as a massive, intricate garden. When Pharaoh Kelley first started navigating his garden, it was overrun with weeds—representing his economic instability, family trauma, and health challenges. At first, he didn't have the right tools or knowledge for tending to it. These weeds grew unchallenged, representing his neglect of nutrition and wellness.
However, as Pharaoh began to understand the dynamics of gardening—akin to recognizing the importance of healthy eating, mental and physical health, and taking responsibility—he started pulling out those weeds. His juice company, Juice My Type, symbolizes his newfound dedication to nurturing his garden. Just like how his organic, non-GMO juices help people nourish their bodies, Pharaoh began to plant seeds of good habits in his own life.
Pharaoh recalls looking at his son, seeing the blossoms of hope and resilience, which motivated him to keep tending to his garden. He started incorporating nutritious options into his diet and committed to a 30-day health challenge, combating the prediabetes diagnosis he received. Each challenge he faced in getting his real estate license or overcoming the trauma of his youth was like a stubborn weed that he refused to let overrun his garden.
Tyson Gaylord, the host, also contributes to this garden metaphor.
He speaks about walking treadmills and the importance of staying active, suggesting tools to help others till their own patches of land. His discussions on community involvement and supporting children without male figures are like planting trees that provide shade and comfort to those who need it.
Together, they emphasize that a beautiful garden doesn't happen overnight—it results from consistent effort, resilience, and the willingness to pull out old weeds while nurturing new plants. They highlight the importance of cherishing moments (the blossoms) with loved ones and the communal support (the garden’s ecosystem) that helps everyone flourish. Whether it’s by eating healthy, exercising, or simply being present, each action is a step towards cultivating a thriving garden of life.

Meet Pharaoh Kelley
Raised by his single mother in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, Pharaoh endured hardships from early on. Economic instability, family trauma, and depression remained constant throughout the years. Life presented only two choices: continue to live in a generational cycle or rise above the circumstances and make a change. Pharaoh’s vision of what he wanted his life to be led him on a path in which he conditioned his mind to make significant changes in his personal life. His mission now is to help others do the same.
Pharaoh is the founder of Legendary Vision. Legendary Vision is privileged to coach and strategize with great leaders from different schools, colleges, organizations, and companies. They have a plan to meet targeted goals as they help individuals unlock a legendary mindset that will provide the healthy and quality personal living one may seek.
To further assist with this mission, Pharaoh has become a licensed realtor to not only help individuals through the home buying and selling process in the state of Georgia but to also teach the power of ownership. Through Legendary Vision Pharaoh can empower individuals to connect their missing piece when it comes to a process that may seem impossible to achieve.
Since we last spoke Pharaoh is now a published author. His first book “Insurmountable Victory” details his experience of homelessness, an absent father and how he overcame his trials. Proudly, Pharaoh was rewarded with a proclamation from the council board in the City of Atlanta recognizing him for the great work that he does in his community when it comes to bridging the gap by unifying those who not only look like him but from all walks of life.
