In Twice as Hard, the author Raphael Sofoluke examines discusses the challenges of being black and trying to break into the business world. The author was well rounded with the discussion, sharing experiences from other entrepreneurs from the United Kingdom and the United States.
The author also discusses the study of names, of how if you have a whiter name, you are more likely to get a call back for a job. It was eye opening to read quotes from the famous Michelle Obama about how black people have to work even harder than the average white male or female.
While I enjoyed learning and educating myself about the struggle of black people in the business world, I am not the intended audience. At times, I did struggle with parts of the book that did not necessarily apply to me, but I also enjoyed the author's writing style and the well rounded approach.
