Black Privilege
Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It
About the book
Charlamagne Tha God, who co-hosts The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1, mixes memoir and advice to argue that living an authentic life is the quickest route to success. He traces his path from Moncks Corner, a small town in South Carolina, to headline-making interviews with figures such as Kanye West, Hillary Clinton, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj. Along the way he describes turning around a troubled early life by taking ownership of his many mistakes and holding on to his dreams, even when controversial remarks cost him more than one on-air job. The tone is comic, often controversial and brutally honest, and he hopes the lessons help others find the confidence to live by their own truths.
Ryan Holiday loved it and named it among the best books he read in 2017, wishing more celebrity memoirs did what it does: teach concrete lessons instead of just recounting a life.

I also loved Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It by Charlamagne Tha God, and I wish more celebrity memoirs bothered to do what he did with this book: You know, actually teach people stuff in the form of concrete lessons instead of just talking about their lives.
