Audiobook Summary

Listeners will trace the journey from 2017 through a second Trump term, examining how tax cuts, deregulation, trade wars, and hostile rhetoric deepened financial, logistical, and cultural barriers for Black-owned businesses. You’ll explore chapters on accessing capital in a conservative economy, the rise of Black women entrepreneurs, the impact of policing and protests, and the catastrophic fallout of COVID-19 and PPP loan exclusion. Discover how tech platforms both empowered and suppressed Black commerce, and how “Buy Black” movements, digital directories, HBCU incubators, and the Black church became critical ecosystems of support.

Real estate struggles, media representation battles, lending bias, digital divides, immigration hurdles, and reparations debates all converge toward actionable strategies. The finale offers five pillars—structural sovereignty, enforceable equity, cooperative capital models, narrative infrastructure, and intergenerational wealth building—equipping you with a roadmap for collective power, global solidarity, and thriving Black enterprise beyond politics.
