Hello I'm MarShon Peoples. My testimony is, I was shot in the head protecting teens from gang violence at a safe haven event back in 2012.
Statistics state that approximately 20,000 people are shot in the head in the U.S.a year. Out of that number, only a estimated 5% survive (1000 people). I also learned that out of the 1000 people survivors, only 3% is high functioning. I thank God I am of that 3% number.
MarShon Peoples is a Renaissance Man. His love of God, young people, sports, art, and music has led him be trained in the Bible, business and be a part of a myriad of community services, especially with the high risk youth.
His passion for the youth began at a very young age when he was often told, when he showed interest in something, to wait till you're older. He always wondered "Why should I wait?"
He studied at Ypsilanti Highschool, Washtenaw Community College, University of Michigan, Cornerstone University and Aenon Bible College where he has earned various certifications and achievement awards.
MarShon Peoples has worked with various, churches, schools and nonprofits to help improve quality of community such as: The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, YMCA, South East Community Association, Grand Rapids Citizens Academy, Gatherings of Hope and Streams of Hope in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is now a seasoned event planner and business consultant with experience in a variety of industries. He has extensive knowledge in marketing, branding, and sales, which he uses to help businesses and people to develop and expand their offerings.
MarShon's passion for event planning led him to host a number of youth safe haven events, where he empowered and encouraged high risk youth to their higher achievements. He later launched his own company, The 46th Chamber™, that specializes in organizing large-scale events for nonprofit organizations, social clubs, and private clients alike. With an unwavering commitment to his clients' success, MarShon combines his creative flair with his business acumen to design memorable experiences that exceed expectations. He is known for his attention to detail, customer service, and ability to bring together diverse groups to create a unified and enjoyable event. When he's not planning events, MarShon enjoys traveling, playing basketball, and spending time with those he calls...his family.
