In this powerful episode, True Khepra sits down with Therman Bellinger, better known as P.A.P.E.S — a real estate investor, mentor, and entrepreneur whose life story is nothing short of inspiring.
Growing up in Paterson, New Jersey during the turbulent 80s, Therman witnessed firsthand the effects of the crack and AIDS epidemics. From a childhood spent observing life’s harsh realities to raising a family at a young age, his path wasn’t easy. But through perseverance, self-awareness, and a vision for something greater, Therman transformed his life.
Today, he’s a successful real estate investor with properties across New Jersey and Michigan, and he’s the founder of The Bellinger Group LLC, a construction company committed to rebuilding communities from the inside out.
In this conversation, we cover:
Therman’s journey from survival to success
How he broke into real estate investing
The steps it takes to fix a broken community like Paterson
Lessons on fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and second chances
If you’re looking for raw truth, practical insights, and a dose of real motivation — this is the episode for you.
