Woodson — both a Harvard University graduate and a former Dean at Howard University (over almost a hundred years ago) — we now have a whole month —  albeit the shortest month — dedicated to honoring the participation and achievements of Black Americans to this land that we love — although it’s a complicated love. No, our history is NOT to be contained only in one month. But just like for those of us that like to celebrate Valentine’s Day, it’s an extra special time to give extra special attention, in this case, to many extra special someones. In that vein — and because we might as well jump on the fact that March celebrates women next —I want to highlight this Black History Month some Black Women in real estate who are modern history makers despite some of the hurdles they face because of their skin color and/or gender. They are Black excellence personified and I hope their journeys will inspire and encourage.Featured interviews in order of appearance: Christian Ross | https://www.christiansoldit.com/ Amy McCoy | https://myhometownatl.com/our-team/amy-mccoy/ Gene Lewis | https://www.bhgre.com/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Real-Estate-Metro-Brokers-6247c/Gene-Lewis-321479aSound off - I would love to hear from you!  Give me a shout on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, or by visiting LearnWithDrLee.com.  Download today your complimentary (aka NO FEE but for a limited time so hurry) copy of my new book, How to Be an Anti-Racist Real Estate Pro.
