Mustapha Jobarteh
Not everyone can say they unknowingly rode cross country on a bus with a serial killer…but Mustapha can. Everyone was safe, the person was caught, and the bus continued its journey, but holy moly, what a welcome to America that was for eight year old Mustapha.
He was born in Maryland and moved to The Gambia in Africa at age 3. His family returned to the US — Utah for awhile — before catching that bus (!) for a one-week journey to Maryland where they made their new home.
Mustapha played football in high school (Silver Spring) and went to Salisbury College working several jobs to put himself through school. He was persistent. Determined. And despite a few setbacks, he learned about resilience and the power of not giving up on your dreams. An accounting major initially, he switched after a professor inspired him to combine his passion for psychology, advertising, business, and celebrity real estate shows (hey hey “MTV Cribs”) and earned a dual degree in marketing and business.

He enjoys working out, playing basketball, hitting the beach, or watching a good movie. Fave music? All kinds, but especially Janet (Miss Jackson if you’re nasty — and also his biggest celebrity crush), Whitney Houston, R&B 90s, and the beautiful music from the Black Panther movies (which he proudly notes comes from The Gambia.)
Real estate is his passion and he’s grateful to live and work in the DMV where he can meet and work with people from all over the world. He dreams of traveling more, owning one of those luxury celebrity homes, and avoiding long bus trips.
