Where is the Black Agenda?

This is the question......This is the answer...
2030 is not some far-off horizon. It’s less than five years away, close enough to touch, close enough to change — yet far enough to lose if we do nothing. Already, we see the storms gathering: automation threatening jobs, climate change destabilizing communities, politics dividing neighbors, and wealth consolidating into fewer hands.
The question is unavoidable: are we shaping the future with intention, or letting it shape us by default?
For Black America, that question carries a deeper weight. It isn’t abstract — it’s survival. It’s freedom. It’s dignity. Time and again, our people have asked: Where is our agenda? Why don’t we have a Black Agenda?
We are told to be patient. To wait our turn. To fold ourselves into someone else’s blueprint. To believe that “progress for all” will eventually mean progress for us. But history has taught us that waiting is costly, and progress promised is not the same as progress delivered.
This is why Project 2030: The Agenda for Black America exists. It is not just a book. It is a mandate. It is a covenant with the future — a declaration that we will not be passive passengers in history, but architects of our own destiny.
This is our blueprint. This is our answer. This is Project 2030.
Why Project 2030 Matters
On September 24th, Project 2030 launches in paperback, hardcover, and ebook. Like my first book, The Hustler’s MBA— which debuted at #1 on Amazon’s Best New Releases — this work is more than just a book. It’s a movement.
Inside, you’ll find:
Big Questions and Bold Ideas about technology, policy, culture, and leadership.
Frameworks and Strategies for decision-makers, entrepreneurs, educators, and activists.
Stories and Scenarios that paint vivid pictures of possible futures — the liberated ones we must pursue, and the dystopian ones we must avoid.
Each chapter is designed not just to inform but to challenge. To move you from awareness to action. To demand that you wrestle with the choices we face today in order to shape the tomorrow we deserve.
Why 2030?
Someone asked me recently: “Why 2030? Why not sooner?”
It’s a fair question. The truth is, the goal of Project 2030 is to start today. But 2030 is an important mile marker — a horizon close enough to feel urgent, yet far enough away to allow meaningful change.
We cannot dismantle centuries of inequality in one election cycle. We cannot build generational wealth, rebuild trust, or restructure systems overnight. But by setting 2030 as our horizon, we give ourselves a bold but achievable timeline.
Think of it this way: children entering 4th grade today will be entering high school by 2030. What kind of nation will they inherit? The policies we pass, the institutions we strengthen, the wealth we circulate, and the technologies we claim or reject — all of it will shape their world.
That’s why Project 2030 is about mobilizing now — laying the groundwork, making the hard decisions, and planting the seeds of change that can grow over the next several years. And by 2030, we should be able to look back and say: we didn’t wait for change to happen to us; we shaped it.
What issues Project 2030 Seeks to Solve
The conversations about the future are too often reserved for think tanks, corporations, and politicians. Ordinary people — the workers, innovators, educators, and communities most impacted — are sidelined.
Project 2030 seeks to change that by democratizing the conversation and reclaiming agency. The book wrestles with the questions we cannot afford to ignore:
How do we ensure automation serves equity rather than widens inequality?
What policies can safeguard both innovation and justice?
How do we balance growth with environmental sustainability?
And most importantly, what role do you play in building a future worth fighting for?
This is not about predicting flying cars or dystopian collapse. It’s about charting practical, visionary pathways for a future that works — for us, by us, and with us.What Project 2030 Is Trying to Solve
Join the Conversation
September 24th is just the beginning. With Project 2030, I’m not just releasing a book — I’m sparking a dialogue. A dialogue that will continue in classrooms, boardrooms, community spaces, and policy circles. It’s the beginning of a tenplus year mandate for our community.
Whether you’re a leader, a dreamer, a disruptor, or simply someone concerned about the next decade, this book is for you. Because a blueprint is only as powerful as the people who act on it.
Preorder the ebook today, and mark your calendars. On September 24th, grab your copy in paperback, hardcover, or ebook. Read it, share it, debate it, challenge it — and most importantly, use it as a guide to start shaping the 2030 you want to see.
Preorder today. Read it. Share it. Debate it. Challenge it. But most of all — use it.
