“Our story began a very long time ago when we were little kids with no place to live. Our mother got sick and our father had to give us up, so we were put into a shelter—and then foster homes. We were in foster homes for 13 years! It was very hard, but we made it…
Some people think foster families are these amazing folks who just want to help needy children… But those weren’t the ones we ever got… It made us wonder why people who didn’t even like kids took us in.
It wasn’t until later that we realized it was about money. You see, the city gave families a monthly check for every child they took in…
The lessons we learned from our time as foster kids have helped us to grow up and be good human beings, and that is why we can now share our story. There are simple lessons, and we have tired to live our lives based on them: Never lose hope… Rejection prepares you for perfection… Never lose your faith…
It worked for us.”

A completely updated and revised edition of a bestselling book that has
helped tens of thousands of people learn how to network effectively, Success
Runs in Our Race is more important than ever in this fluctuating economy.
With scores of anecdotes taken from interviews with successful African
Americans -- from Keith Clinkscales, founder and former CEO of Vanguarde
Media, to Oprah Winfrey -- Fraser shows how to network for information, for
influence, and for resources. Readers will learn, among other things, how to
cultivate valuable listening skills, which conferences blacks are most
likely to attend when looking to build their business network, and how to
effectively circulate a résumé.
More than a guide for personal achievement, this is an information-packed
bible of networking that also seeks to inspire a social movement and a
rebirth of the "Underground Railroad," in which successful African Americans
share the lessons of self-determination and empowerment with those still
struggling to scale the ladder of success.
