This book is a great baseline for understanding black entrepreneurship. It was published in 1993 so some of the companies may be unfamiliar but it’s speaks to successful black companies that I never knew existed. The author does an excellent job with examples, graphs, and creating a story around positive and negative black business experiences.

This book is amazing. It really identifies a lot of obstacles encountered by the late bloomer. I’m not a very fast reader so I tend to read in 15 minutes sessions. Every session of reading this book I discover something that I currently deal with. Rather it be with my career path or relationship there is always something applicable from this read.

This book is very eye opening. I really thought I had a general understanding of systemic racism but this book really shows how sophisticated the systems are and how deep they are intertwined not only history but the criminal justice system.
