\"Author,<\/a><\/div>\n

Chicago native and founder of Visionary Creative International LLC, J.D. Smith, has created an e-platform, Black Book library<\/a>, to discover and promote black literature, culture, and history.<\/p>\n

J.D is on a mission to push black literature and entrepreneurs back to the apex of global recognition. A few months ago, he and his brother, Brandon Henderson, launched a book titled “Made By Hustle<\/a>” to inspire and create a guideline for Entrepreneurs within the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community to have a clear cut path to be successful.<\/p>\n

The e-platform is set to solve a problem that has persisted for years—black literature’s marginalization. The publishing industry has long been criticized for hiring and retaining so few employees of color — according to a survey of the workforce released this year by the children’s book publisher Lee & Low Books, only 5 percent are Black.<\/p>\n

Amazon suppliers and independent publishers have supply but need more customer flow, so black book library steps in to bridge that relationship, providing a pedestal for worldwide exposure for black authors, books, writings on various genres, and black culture.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the platform, J.D. Smith said: “My company motto ‘Discover Who You Are’ says it all. For years I wanted to understand my history, learn where I come from, and be inspired to advance our culture. I wanted to know more about us from sources that you don’t have access to in a school system and from Black Authors and explorers.”<\/em><\/p>\n

J.D. is also the publisher of the “In The Black exclusive newsletter<\/a>,” where he shares information about free travel opportunities and successful investment picks in the stock market, real estate, and private equity.<\/p>\n

J.D. Smith is a Tech Investor, Author, and Economist. He is the Founder of Visionary Creative International, a Tech-Based Consumer Solutions Company. He is also the Publisher for Black Media Daily, a 24\/7 media outlet providing a voice for black content creators and a place to control their image throughout the Diaspora. J.D. is also the co-author of the book 100 Questions Black People Should Ask Themselves.<\/a> As a digital nomad, he promotes the importance of black travel<\/em> and working from anywhere.<\/p>\n
