About the Author
Dr. Kimberly McGlonn’s life is a story of two childhoods and two Americas. Born on the North Side of Milwaukee, a city Dr. Martin Luther King once called the “Selma of the North,” she was afforded all the comforts of middle-class life.
However, when McGlonn was twelve, all that changed. What came next taught her about the consequences and shame of poverty, the pathways that can lead to incarceration, and the obstacles poor women must navigate. These lessons shape her views on not just the global economy, but the way forward for the common good in America.
Here, she calls on the world’s 524 million entrepreneurs to embrace a new kind of activism and legacy-building, one that puts people and the planet in the balance of the pursuit of profit, challenges racism and protects us from the worst of the climate catastrophe. She offers sage wisdom on what daring leadership requires and how we can use business design to create powerful impacts.
