Money Talks: Black Finance Experts Talk to You About Money

Leading black financial experts tell you how the money machine works—and how you can use it to increase your personal wealth.
"Investment books tend to be as dry as the Sahara at high noon, but Money Talks is a stellar exception. Juliette Fairley has compiled a book full of practical tips, but she has done much more. She has provided a guided tour through the labyrinth of finance with some of the most savvy money people in America. The chance to take that journey is well worth the price of admission to Money Talks."—Ellis Cose, author, The Rage of a Privileged Class and Color–Blind.
"All Americans will cherish this literary work which captures the thoughts and deeds of Black America′s financial elite. These men and women are playing a major role in reshaping the economic fabric of America. They are pioneers; they are trailblazers; but more importantly, they are Financial Freedom Fighters."—Kelvin Boston, author, Smart Money Moves for African Americans, and publisher, Moneywise Magazine.
"In her distillation of these successful individuals′ approaches to wealthbuilding, Juliette Fairley creates models by which the reader can learn to adjust his or her attitude about investing. Each person′s story reiterates basic approaches to saving and allocating money, always in the context of individual achievement. The real benefit of Fairley′s book is that it shows that there is no one formula, only many individual approaches."—Alvin D. Hall, author, Getting Started in Stocks.
"In Money Talks, Juliette Fairley achieves a rare combination: she tells the inspiring stories of financial experts, coupled with sound advice on managing money and building wealth. This book is not only for African– Americans, it′s an understandable, jargon–free guide for everyone."—Jane Tillman Irving, broadcast journalist.
"My hope is that this book will motivate you to join the next fronti er of the Civil Rights movement—economic inclusion—by taking charge of your finances."—from the Introduction.
Drawing from the professional experiences of successful black business leaders, Money Talks gives you expert, first hand advice on how to take control of your finances and make your money work for you. Here, at last, is a practical guide to building wealth and securing a sound financial future—whatever your age or income level.
