Drexwell Seymour is a Certified Public Accountant and is the managing partner and founder of the HLB TCI accounting firm. Perhaps more importantly, Drexwell is a man on a mission to inspire, encourage and influence others to overcome setbacks and systemic injustice and to find their purpose in life. To that end, he hosts a YouTube channel and Financially Speaking, a weekly radio show, and is the author of the internationally best-selling Rise Up And Take Your Position, as well as the creator of a short film by the same name.
Drexwell grew up on a small island in the Turks and Caicos Islands, where there were limited
opportunities and terrible colorism, but he strived and thrived, eventually receiving a full scholarship
for a BA in Accounting to Wilmington College at the age of 16 and later graduating from Miami
College with an MBA in finance. As he grew older, despite his achievements, building a successful
accounting firm and a property management company from the ground up, he was haunted
through his life by the low self esteem and lack of confidence that he had been instilled with during
his childhood. It wasn’t until a mere 4 years ago that he discovered his life’s purpose, helping
others to never feel the way that he had been made to feel. Drexwell and his wife, Joanna, live in
the Turks and Caicos Islands with their 5 children.
