Build Anyway!

Build Anyway! How Black Americans Can Build Wealth in a System That Wasn’t Built for Us
 
It’s not your typical “money book.” It’s not just budgeting tips or generic investing advice. This is the story of how wealth was blocked, delayed, and engineered out of reach — and how you can build it anyway.
Build Anyway! connects deeply rooted history with real, practical financial strategy. You’ll learn the economic barriers Black Americans faced — from redlining to credit discrimination, unequal access to capital, student debt disparities, and economic policy that drained community wealth — and how those forces still shape money outcomes today.
Each chapter gives you:
Historical context with powerful stories and data
Clear explanations of how the system works now
Action-focused steps you can take immediately
This book isn’t just about understanding what went wrong. It’s about what you can do next — strategically, confidently, practically.
If you want:
A framework to stabilize your financial foundation
A roadmap to strengthen credit and access capital
A plan to acquire assets and build generational wealth
A path to teach and uplift others
…then this is your playbook.
Build Anyway! is for Black professionals, entrepreneurs, families, investors, and anyone serious about turning context into action and legacy.
