Southbury, CT — Shawn Rochester is an author, entrepreneur, investor and sought-after speaker who has spoken on Wall Street, in Silicon Valley, the United Nations and lectured at leading universities about the staggering financial cost of discrimination against Black people in America and advocates for a new economic framework to help create the millions of jobs and businesses that are missing in the Black community.

In his highly acclaimed book,

The Black Tax: The Cost of Being Black in America, Rochester shows how The Black Tax (which is the financial cost of conscious and unconscious anti-black discrimination), creates a massive financial burden on Black American households that dramatically reduces their ability to leave a substantial legacy for future generations.

Mr Rochester’s work on

The Black Tax and his commitment to economic development has led to citations from the New York State Assembly and the New York City Council and his selection by the International Human Rights Commission Relief Fund Trust (IHRC-RFT) to be listed in its 2019 almanac as one of the Top 100 Human Rights Defenders for his efforts to educate people on the financial cost of discrimination (past and present) against members of the African Diaspora in America.

CPR for the SOuL is a paradigm shifting new book that not only changes how you think about your finances, but also helps you to create a new mindset built on Stewardship, Ownership and Legacy which Mr Rochester calls the SOuL.

CPR for the SOuL is part of The Good Steward Financial Empowerment Series which includes the highly acclaimed book, The Black Tax: The Cost of Being Black in America.
