A Black Entrepreneur’s Lessons on Creating Legacy and Wealth is a striking monument to the tenacity of people from marginalized populations, such as people of color and women, as they navigate the male-dominated corporate environment.
This riveting story begins in 1950, when Gerald Frank, a determined Black man, arrived in Seattle at the age of eighteen. Gerald fled Detroit’s violence and the oppressive grasp of Jim Crow laws, carrying only aspirations and drumsticks in his heart. His unwavering belief that he could create a better life laid the groundwork for a remarkable adventure. Over 70 years later, the real estate enterprise founded by Gerald and his wife, Theresa, in Seattle’s Central District, is still thriving under the leadership of the third generation Frank family. However, their journey was not without its difficulties.
Dana Frank’s Get Up & Get On It! gives a realistic picture of the challenges her family endured. Dana herself faced racial barriers when her father made unusual economic decisions. When her parents’ thirty-two-year marriage ended in a nasty divorce, Dana and her mother emerged as daring business partners, battling her father’s bankruptcy. Their narrative exemplifies tenacity, endurance, boldness, and unrelenting hard work. As a single mother and entrepreneur, Dana discovered the value of utilizing her network, keeping loyal to her story, and creating a better future.
Dana’s objective as President of The TD Frank Family Properties is clear: to teach others how to build generational wealth by working smarter, not harder. She underlines the timeless concept that “equity grows, cash erodes,” and demonstrates how real estate investments can be game changers for future generations. Dana is a fervent believer that everyone, regardless of birth circumstances, can change the course of their lives.
