Fleeing the violence of Detroit and the suffocating grip of Jim Crow Laws, Gerald carried nothing but dreams and drumsticks in his heart. His unwavering belief that he could carve out a better life set the stage for an incredible journey. Today, over 70 years later, the real estate empire forged by Gerald and his wife, Theresa, in Seattle's Central District continues to flourish under the guidance of the third generation of the Frank family. But theirs was not a journey paved with silver spoons. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGet Up \u0026amp; Get On It!,\u003c\/i\u003e Dana Frank paints a vivid picture of the hurdles her family faced. Dana herself confronted racial barriers as her father made unconventional business choices. When her parents' thirty-two-year marriage ended in a bitter divorce, Dana and her mother emerged as fearless business partners, facing the brink of bankruptcy left by her father. Their story is a testament to fortitude, perseverance, bravery, and unrelenting hard work. As a single mother and entrepreneur, Dana learned the power of leveraging her network, staying true to her story, and envisioning a brighter future. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, as the President of The TD Frank Family Properties, Dana's mission is clear: to teach how to create generational wealth by working smarter, not harder. She emphasizes a timeless truth: \"Equity grows, cash erodes,\" and reveals how real estate investments can be a game-changer for future generations. Dana firmly believes that anyone, regardless of their birth circumstances, can rewrite the trajectory of their lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGet Up \u0026amp; Get On It: A Black Entrepreneur's Lessons on Creating Legacy \u0026amp; Wealth\u003c\/i\u003e offers: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePersonal stories filled with humor and invaluable insights on reshaping your inner narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA straightforward yet potent approach to building generational wealth through the R.E.A.L. method: Research, Expand, Amplify, and Leverage connections.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGuidance on gaining advantages, progressing, fostering empowerment, and achieving success in wealth-building through real estate.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA treasure trove of historical photos that illuminate the family's ties to challenging real estate markets and their connections with the vibrant music scene of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, featuring Dana's uncle, Quincy Jones.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOriginal social-justice poems penned by Dana Frank herself throughout the book, amplifying the narrative that People of Color can indeed \"Get Up and Get On It!\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGet Up \u0026amp; Get On It: A Black Entrepreneur's Lessons on Creating Legacy \u0026amp; Wealth\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling story of determination that challenges conventional paths to freedom.
