About
Sammie Rogers Jr.
Founder · Green-Energy Entrepreneur · Speaker
Educator, entrepreneur, and public speaker based in Pontiac, MI — building pathways from knowledge to ownership for Black and Brown communities.
The throughline
Sammie Rogers Jr. has spent his career on a single idea: the communities most harmed by old systems should own the next ones. That conviction has carried him from the classroom to the construction site — always with the same goal of turning knowledge and materials into generational wealth.
BSL Development
He is the driving force behind BSL Development (Black Star Legacy Development), a company specializing in innovative residential and commercial development. BSL Development prioritizes eco-friendly construction methods, utilizing cutting-edge materials such as cold-formed steel, aircrete, and hempcrete, alongside advanced techniques like 3D printing to create sustainable, energy-efficient spaces that contribute positively to the environment.
Author & speaker
He authored 3 Day Mental Rewire: Workbook, a guide to reshaping cognitive habits and daily language, and speaks widely on accountability, professional growth, and mindset. His community work spans educational and resource subcommittees focused on redevelopment and asset-based wealth building.
The next chapter: hemp energy
Today Sammie is extending the model into green energy — developing carbon-negative building systems from hempcrete and cold-formed steel, and the community-owned supply chain that makes them possible. Same mission, bigger canvas.
