way."--Bowling Green Daily News

challenges but more importantly, the benefits of being Black in
America. Reading this made me feel seen and empowered as Eboni K.

own way in the world. This book is also a reminder of the power of
community, embracing your identity, taking up space in the world,
and becoming the most authentic version of yourself."--Damona

looking to expand and grow to read this account of Black life and
the way forward."--Nina Parker, Emmy Nominated television host
"Eboni K. Williams' latest shatters the lies that I've been told
and believed about living in the boldness of my Blackness. This
effervescent work serves as a guide and beacon of light for any
Black person who has questioned themselves when the world around us
often paints us into unsavory and subservient boxes. Make no
mistake, this book is real, raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically
Black, but also offers all the warmth, hope and light that Eboni so
effortlessly radiates."--Richie Skye, pop culture expert
"I love this book. The title alone made me pick it up. It's
inspiring, empowering, and life-changing. Bet on Black is a
poignant reminder of what my father [Malcolm X] said, 'If you are
not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are
being oppressed.' Eboni K. Williams reminds us that in loving
ourselves, we promote our healing and growth as a collective."
--Ilyasah Shabazz, author of The Awakening of Malcolm X.
"When I tell you at the end of Eboni K. Williams's Bet On Black, I

QUALIFIED!' On every page, I found myself so damn proud to not only
be Black but Blackity-Black Black!"--Tyler Merritt, Author of I
Take My Coffee Black

longing for the white experience and instead create their own path
towards success and freedom."--Bakari Sellers, New York Times
