“The kind of structural, race-based and class-based inequality that underpins our current economic system cannot stand. It must be overturned in favour of a more just and equitable model of economic growth that is more receptive to, and inclusive of, the needs of all citizens. Change is coming. Change must come. But between here and there, black people like you and me are left to find ways to thrive in the here and now. This book hopes to help guide you on your journey, to give you the best possible chance of succeeding. It is my hope that I can help you improve the odds in your favour, even if just a little. Black man, you’re on your own. This is an essential truth.” – Karabo Che Mokoape
