There’s a story about Rich Paul that everyone knows: A twenty-one-year-old kid from Cleveland who sells sports jerseys out of his car meets a high school basketball phenom named LeBron James at an airport—the two become friends and forge a decades-long partnership that reinvents the business of sports. That random meeting might seem like the lucky break that changed Paul’s life. But a moment of good fortune means nothing without the struggle that gets you there. And the truth is, Paul had always been lucky.

The Black American Dream
Revisado: 10-12-23
Your collab with Jesse was outstanding. You have embodied our truth, passion and spirit. Now to my It is what it is commentary. Son you bodied this book. I felt you bro, this is what the hood needs. Better. Get this in the schools. Importance of Father leaders honoring their Earths. You are teaching what true testing in business and people is all about.

Fat Joe is a hip-hop legend, but this is not a tale of celebrity; it is the story of Joseph Cartagena, a kid who came of age in the South Bronx during its darkest years of drugs, violence, and abandonment, and how he navigated that traumatizing landscape until he found—through art, friendship, luck, and will—a rocky path to a different life. This memoir, written in Joe’s own intensely compelling voice, moves with the momentum of pulp fiction, but underneath the tragicomedy and riveting tales of the streets and the industry is a thought-provoking story about a generation of survivors.

I am so happy you are sharing your story Joe. I am proud of you and Shaheem putting this project together because it shows the importance of grit no matter the circumstances. In life we are not born accepted we must earn it. Always remember the value of a friend is how they honor your trust. Especially In God We Trust. This book teaches you to learn from your own experience and the experiences of others in order to thrive.

Tortured by nightmares about the teens who roughed him up, Steve Mariotti sought counseling. When his therapist suggested that he face his fears, Mariotti closed his small import-export business and became a teacher at the city's most notorious public school - Boys and Girls High in Bed-Stuy. Although his nightmares promptly ceased, Mariotti's out-of-control students rapidly drove him to despair. One day, Mariotti stepped out of the classroom so his students wouldn't see him cry.

With his now-legendary store on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own innovative, glamorous designs. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. In this remarkable memoir, he tells his full story for the first time.

As a hip hop kid we loved Dapper Dan. He exemplifies style and savoir -faire. The book provides a guidance map into the ingenuity of entrepreneurship, the purpose of Spirituality and the importance of relationship building. Buy this book for your children to hear how you become a Master of your life.
