Episode 06: Franklin and Anthony, Franklin Moss
Frank Moss grew up in Fort Worth’s Stop 6 neighborhood, the son of two dedicated public servants — his father was a city councilman and his mother served on the school board for 29 years. Today he’s an entrepreneur and community activist who is changing the look of his hometown. He says much of his journey to get where he is now has been “riding the wave” of what God has next for him.
It’s not surprising that a bespoke suit clothier was part of a Distinguished Gentlemen group in high school, where Frank and his friends wore suits or button downs and ties every single Tuesday. In college as Frank pursued a career in recording musicians and rapping — including songs about fashion — his wardrobe changed to sweats and t-shirts. Today he’s again known for his sharp look and for introducing the Black Dandie movement to DFW.
Frank is also committed to making positive changes in his neighborhood. His men’s Bible study evolved into Community Frontline, an organization dedicated to addressing causes of suffering in their neighborhood. A film about their efforts and impact was made by TCU, called “76105 Dr. King Won’t Rise.”
