The Pride Council Network is a fractional family office–style referral council built so LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and allies have access to coordinated, affirming, and highly competent professional support across every major life decision. Charming built PCN to eliminate fragmented referrals and ensure the community has one trusted network they can turn to for anything.
Royal Family Finance is the financial engine of PCN. The team specializes in debt management, life insurance and wealth protection, estate planning, tax reduction strategies, and business advisory. Royal Family Finance works across ~30 states and leads PCN's Finance Department, actively recruiting LGBTQ+ financial professionals to serve the community.
After serving in the military, building multiple businesses, and mentoring hundreds of leaders, Charming Ihekoronye arrived at a conviction: "Real freedom isn't just income. It's identity, discipline, and proximity to people who live with purpose."
As the founder of ReforgedHQ, a central hub for mission-driven brands, Charming has built an interconnected ecosystem spanning financial strategy, content creation, business development, and community leadership. ReforgedHQ houses Royal Family Finance, Charming Unlimited (gaming & creative therapy), and The Success Blueprint podcast and blog, among other initiatives.
His work at the Pride Council Network is an extension of this mission: building a coordinated professional network where queer individuals, families, and allies can access aligned, trustworthy expertise without having to start the story over with every new professional.
