Dr. Glenn was born in Tampa Fl where he later graduated from the International Baccalaureate program at Hillsborough High School, then went on to receive his Doctorate at the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Florida A&M University. There Dr. Glenn was submerged in an environment that made him more aware of the issues that affected his community. Battling racial injustice, homo/transphobia and patriarchy became one of his top priorities. He wanted to create a space that was inclusive and safe for marginalized communities specifically Black people. He returned to Tampa as a pharmacy manager for a large retail chain by day and joined institutions like New Leaders Council to help promote progressive movements during the night. It was then he teamed up with two of his closest friends to create 7th+Grove, a culturally immersive restaurant/lounge. Dr. Glenn is committed to serving his community with future projects including restaurant and hospitality concepts and group homes.
