A Personal Note
The title says this book is for young Black professionals, and it absolutely serves that mission. But as a middle-aged white guy and fellow Veteran, I can tell you this book impressed me. It is beautifully written, easy to read, and full of wisdom. There is something here for everyone who wants to grow personally or professionally. I will be doing a full review soon, but I wanted to help get the word out now.
