No Bootstraps When You're Barefoot: My rise from a Jamaican plantation shack to the boardrooms of Bay Street

From one of Canada's most successful business leaders, the first Black Dragon in CBC’s Dragon's Den and the founder of the BlackNorth Initiative comes a rags-to-riches story that also carries a profound message of hope and change. In No Bootstraps When You’re Barefoot, Wes Hall explores the lessons of his childhood and the milestone successes and failures of his career in order to share not only how he stopped himself from failing in the face of poverty, racism and injustice, but survived and thrived—dedicating himself to bringing his family and his community along with him.
