Eboni K. Williams Instagram – It’s really, REALLY hard to be free when you don’t own anything. ⁣ ⁣ I open the LEVERAGE chapter of my new book, BET ON BLACK, with this difficult truth because my liberation is tethered to ownership. ⁣ ⁣ This is why homeownership was ESSENTIAL to me as a single Black woman in America today. ⁣ ⁣ With high interest rates, race-based mortgage rejections and anti-Blackness in home appraisals…purchasing real estate in Manhattan was no easy feat.⁣ ⁣ But God 🙏🏾 ⁣ ⁣ I’m humbled and excited to welcome you into my Harlem Jewel Box that I get to call home 💕✨ ⁣ ⁣ Thank you to the @nytimes @nytrealestate for amplifying my journey to ownership…and ultimately to my liberation . ⁣ *Special shoutout to my brilliant and tenacious real estate attorney: Evans Legros
