Willie was born on May 28, 1951 to the late Willie Hunter Sr, and Kathleen Miller-Hunter. Willie received his formal education through the Philadelphia Public School System. After High School Willie went into Construction. However, after a few months of taking orders and doing hard labor, Willie realized that he was not cut out to be a "yes man" to anyone. Willie was a brilliant man with vision, motivation, and determination. Willie decided to join the Nation of Islam and changed his name to "Hassan Jabir." While in the Nation, Hassan educated himself on bussiness and economics. Within a year, Hassan became an entrepreneur, owning a Community Corner Store, and multiple properties around Philadelphia County.

Hassan was also known to seduce the ladies with his charm, intellect, and matter of fact personality. Hassan had a wonderful sense of humor, and a big beautiful smile that would brighten a room like a ray of sunshine. Hassan valued family, and always express the importance of family unity. Hassan was a true soldier that loved all his children. Hassan's vision was to create family independence and generational wealth, to be passed on from generation to generation.
