Before he became one of the most recognizable voices in radio, Charlamagne Tha God was Lenard McKelvey, a kid from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, whose early choices could have sent his life in an entirely different direction.
In Black Privilege, Charlamagne mixes his personal story with eight principles for creating opportunity and building the life you want. He traces his journey from a troubled youth to radio, repeated career setbacks and firings, and eventually his rise on The Breakfast Club.
And the title isn't suggesting that racial inequality doesn't exist. Charlamagne's idea of “Black Privilege” is about recognizing the abilities, opportunities, experiences, and advantages available to you personally—and learning how to use them instead of waiting for someone else to create your opportunity.
With his trademark bluntness and humor, he writes about owning your mistakes, embracing your truth, finding purpose, working harder than your circumstances, learning from failure, and refusing to let rejection convince you that you're finished.
Part memoir and part motivational guide, Black Privilege is for anyone who's ever had to figure out how to turn setbacks into lessons and ambition into action.
