Wolf Hustle: A Black Woman on Wall Street by Cin Fabré
5.0
I loved Wolf Hustle: A Black Woman on Wall Street by Cin Fabre.
This is a non-fiction Cin wrote about her life. The book starts out describing what growing up in the projects was like for a child of Haitian immigrants. She talks about the abuse received at the hands of her parents.
At nineteen, she starts working for VTR Capital as a cold caller. This was her first taste of working in stocks. Cin takes you through her life as she worked her way from cold caller to a broker. The book describes the good and the bad.
There are some trigger warning and this book will not be for everyone. She gives vivid details of her life and the life of people working on wall street (drug use, sex, etc.).
As someone who works in the financial industry (i mostly do fraud/money laundering investigations for banks), I could relate to Cin Fabre's story and some of the things she mentions about the firms (chop shops) on Wall Street.
