Last week I got this message from someone who had just finished reading my book, ACRES.
After I sent her the list, I thought it would be great to share it with all of you too! If you’re looking for books about money, wealth, debt freedom, and financial freedom, written by Black authors- here are some of my favorites at the moment!
