Creative Against All Odds: Some Good Advice For Black Creatives (1)

Using and first-person narration, the author draws an intimate portrait of life as black designer struggling to land a job in a very white creative industry, Michael, who possessed all the talent didn't have the connections to even land a job after applying to 128 companies. Rather get down about it he would go own to start his own agency, and that eventually won over the industry success. Like many black creatives it is a struggle finding employment in the advertising, tech, fashion, and other cool creative jobs--Michael had to navigate the maze of the creative industry strategically, which remains very prejudice to this day, ultimately overlooking the thousands of talented black creators. But Creative against All Odds provides hope and guidance for those affected by the bias system. In the end, Michael decided to use his street smarts, God-given talent and hustle to create a thriving creative business and career.
