Protect The Wealth You're Building. Prepare Your Family.
Build a Lasting Legacy.
For decades, wealthy families have quietly used Private Family Foundations and proven strategies to protect assets and pass wealth to future generations. This book reveals those same tools written specifically for Black professionals, entrepreneurs, and families who want to create lasting change.
After nearly 30 years in wealth and nonprofit strategy, Derrick distilled his entire framework into practical steps any family can follow to protect what they've built, reduce what they owe, and ensure the people they love inherit more than memories.
