From Booklist

If you're a low-income black seeking a job in the white-dominated business world, where do you start? Diggs, a New York writer who has held many jobs, puts her experience to work in this handy guide to help young blacks, and she does it by breaking the process down to basics: how to look for a job, how to act once you get the job, and how to improve your situation within the context of the job. Writing in a straightforward style designed to appeal to young people, Diggs also discusses black executives in white-owned businesses, and she encourages black entrepreneurship, explaining methods of getting started with one's own business.
