Benjamin Walker
B1aQK — pronounced "Black"
Founder of B1aQK (Black First Queens & Kings) and the B1aQK Town Hall Tours.
Benjamin Walker was born in Akron, Ohio, and raised in Columbus, Georgia. With a background in business management and years of experience in customer relations as a customer service representative, he has dedicated much of his professional life to serving and assisting others. His passion for helping people, solving problems, and building meaningful connections has remained a consistent theme throughout his career and personal endeavors.
Seeking greater opportunities for growth and service, Benjamin later relocated to Texas, where he further immersed himself in ministry and community engagement. His commitment to faith, leadership, and community development has shaped his vision for creating positive change and empowering those around him.
Throughout his life, Benjamin has placed great value on uplifting and supporting his people. Witnessing the ongoing challenges of racial inequality and division in America has strengthened his determination to become more actively involved in civic and community initiatives. He believes that meaningful progress begins with education, unity, economic empowerment, and collective action.
Prior to launching his current efforts, Benjamin served his community through ministry and as the founder of the Father Mother Son Daughter Association (FMSDA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening families and communities. Through this work, he developed a deeper understanding of the importance of leadership, mentorship, and community-based solutions.
Today, Benjamin is excited to begin a new chapter through B1aQK (Black First Queens & Kings), an empowerment organization and movement focused on community development, entrepreneurship, education, cultural preservation, and economic advancement. His vision is to inspire innovative ideas, foster stronger community alliances, support Black-owned businesses, and help bridge gaps that have historically divided communities.
Benjamin remains committed to building a future where communities are empowered, cultures are preserved, leaders are developed, and future generations are equipped with the tools needed to thrive. Through service, advocacy, education, and collaboration, he hopes to leave a lasting impact that strengthens both individuals and communities for years to come.
