In his new book The Black Tax: The Cost of Being Black in America, Shawn Rochester shows how "The Black Tax" (which is the financial cost of conscious and unconscious anti-black discrimination), creates a massive financial burden on Black American households that dramatically reduces their ability to leave a substantial legacy for future generations. Mr. Rochester lays out an extraordinarily compelling case which documents the enormous financial cost of current and past anti-black discrimination on African American households.

What is "The Black Tax"? The Black Tax is how Black professionals earn money working in corporate America.

This podcast is designed to use my 30 years of experience as a guide on navigating the shark-infested waters that lay ahead while working in corporate America and climbing YOUR ladder of success.
