I am reviewing a copy of Acting Up through Lioncrest Publishing and Netgalley:


If you are looking to be an entrepreneur, the good news is many of the barriers to starting a business have come down since forty years ago. But that does not mean you aren't going to face challenges. Entrepreneurship can be a dog-eat-dog world. But if you want to stay true to yourself and your values as you rise to the top, you’re in good company.


Janice Bryant Howroyd grew up in the segregated South in a family of eleven children and nurtured by a loving mother and father. But as she began her business she faced racism and sexism in addition to the challenges faced by every new business owner. None of that stopped her from becoming the first black woman to own a billion-dollar business.



Janice shares the model she lives by and continues to represent: that of a Leader who works for good, for growth and innovation, for her family values, and for the same ideals upon which she founded her company. In acting up. Janice will help you discover the Leader inside yourself and show you how to use your uniqueness to conquer the business world.


I give Acting Up five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
