In Black Women in Business:  Journeys in Resilience co-authors Rose Smith (CEO of Black Women in Business) and Deborah Cole (writer and photographer) introduce the world to a group of powerful women who have overcome extensive odds to establish and grow their businesses.  Often when women are asked how they excel, they are able to share humble stories of courage, determination, and commitment.  The women interviewed and photographed in this book are part of this dynamic group.  By learning that others have "gone before" we know that it is possible to achieve our dreams through dedication, tenacity, and resilience.
