This is the first book I read that permanently changed my spending habits...

When I filled out the financial expenses worksheet provided in "Black Economics: Solutions for Economic and Community Empowerment" by Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu-Africanamericanimages, my jaw dropped when I saw my results. This wasn't just a sheet of numbers anymore. It also included a column to indicate the ethnicity of the person I signed my check over to for each expense. At the time I was supporting Black artists at the yearly BHM event while in corporate America, but, the numbers on that worksheet helped me realize that more than 95% of my money was going outside of the community each month.

It became crystal clear that I could do so much better.
