Summary
"First-person accounts from today's heroes and role models will inspire you, instruct you, and give you the confidence and determination you need to make your dreams come true. In this selection of wisdom based on interviews, you'll meet twenty-seven talented, hard-working, and successful African Americans. Each of these figures has a powerful story to tell - and important lessons to teach." "Black Enterprise Editor-at-Large Caroline Clarke asks each of these superachievers to reveal who they are, what drives them, what moves them, the sources of their courage and strength, and how they overcome adversity. Their thoughtful, honest responses cut straight to the heart of the matter and help you find your own way to achievement."--Jacket.
