| Why it’s on the list | The memoir of Sheila Johnson, co-founder of BET, the first Black-owned company listed on the New York Stock Exchange — building the network, the sale to Viacom, the end of her marriage to her co-founder, and a second career in hospitality and sports ownership. A founder’s book about a media business and about life after the exit. |
Where I heard about it
- @mastersinvest — one of the 46 titles on his “2025 Reading … so far” list, August 2025 — not in bold, so read but not singled out as very good. The full list is transcribed on 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).
Connections
- 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet) — the list this came from.
- Media — BET’s rise and sale is a media-industry case as much as a memoir.
