Description
"This book shares the motivational experiences of ten African-American entrepreneurs who overcame overwhelming obstacles to make their fortunes in the business of their choice." "In writing Against All Odds, author Wendy Harris traveled around the United States, spending extensive one-on-one time with each person profiled and listening closely to what they had to say. Applying her considerable journalistic skills, Harris vividly captures the unique essence of each entrepreneur, while concisely chronicling the twists and turns each experienced on his or her road to success. And, throughout each chapter, she highlights powerful lessons each has learned along the way - as told in his or her own words."--Jacket.
