Mama will love you for this

Give the gift she won't want to share, so be warned.

You’ve heard people discuss it online: everything we learned in the Black Church prepared us to be leaders.

Now, it’s time to read it from the authoritative source that lasts more than the 1:30 video on TikTok, the book with the science that actually proves it, Call and Response: 10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church.

Then shout. It’s good for you.

Can I get an amen??

And guess who is one of the No. 1 consumers of this business leadership book: your mom--that’s if she can pry it from your dad’s vice grip. So the moral of the story is to get at least three...that is if you ever want to read it yourself.

I signed plenty of these for Mother’s Day gifts at my last signing in NYC, so imagine how families are going about this down here in the South!

Order them again and again...but in threes or fours, but please go support an independent or Black book store near you. Don’t give Amazon all your money (although these are on sale right now and the Audible version is dope).

LMS

P.S. Your new grad will enjoy it too--especially since you can’t get them to church anyway. They’ll need these leadership lessons from this non-religious text for their new job or as they go off to college. Just don’t fool yourself. One copy just isn’t enough. But treat mom first. It’ll make you look good. 💐
