About “Black Business Secrets”
Published by SmileyBooks and written by Dante Lee, Black Business Secrets is dedicated to transforming the devastating Census Bureau statistics that African Americans are much more likely to fail in business than their white, Asian, or Latino counterparts due to lack of fundamental business education, and insufficient economic development and resources. Any entrepreneur of any race can benefit from the book, but the content has been specifically designed to challenge and inspire African Americans because their need is greater.
