Linden, NJ (Akiit.com) – In Don Franco’s newly released book, The FAMDO Way: A Commentary and Solution to the African-American Crisis, a detailed economic plan is revealed to empower local African-American communities. Don is the Founder and CEO of FAMDO, Inc., a for-profit company that utilizes social entrepreneurship to equip black communities for success. FAMDO denotes: For All Minds Desiring Ownership.
In the book, Franco reveals specific examples of how the company (FAMDO, Inc.) plans to capture the African-American dollar, as well as partner with major U.S. brands/advertisers. He presents a credible plan to show how donations will be returned to local communities for empowerment. This unprecedented book/business model is much needed today as many within (and outside) the African-American community believe blacks have reached a state of crisis.
Â
The book sheds light on how solid role models, key influencers (i.e., black stylists and barbers), and technology will facilitate this much needed empowerment movement. Furthermore, a strong understanding is gained by the reader as to why it’s important to equip African-American youth. All proceeds from book sales go towards the start-up costs of FAMDO, Inc.
The book is available at the www.famdo.com website, Barnes and Noble bookstores/website, or can be purchased by calling: 1-888-280-7715. More outlets are coming soon.
