Tracey Syphax Named Among "25 Most Influential African-Americans in New Jersey"
From the Block to the Boardroom's Tracey Syphax was mentioned along with Senator Cory Booker and Congresswoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman (U.S. Representative NJ 12th District) as one of the "25 Most Influential African Americans in New Jersey".
That alone would be quite an accomplishment but the path that he took to get there was quite different from that of his peers. His book "From the Block to the Boardroom" details that journey from street hustler, to prisoner, to entrepreneur & activist.
For nearly 25 years, Mr. Syphax has promoted entrepreneurship as a means to uplift his community of Trenton, NJ through the Minding Our Business initiative among others. He is also featured in several documentaries the newest of which, "Incarcerating U.S." will be released September 15th at Georgetown University. (full article)
