During Gilmore’s rise to success he experienced the “commercial color glass ceiling” as he attempted to build Mall of Mississippi (MOM). “I couldn’t get one department store to commit to the project to break ground, so I founded my own, including over 85 companies to anchor the mall and developments”, he said.
Gilmore confirmed that he is still being denied the equity needed from venture capitalists and corporations. But he believes since the death of George Floyd and others, the ‘haves and have nots’ are uniting to invest and empower the masses in America.
