Wolf Hustle : A Black Woman on Wall Street by Cin Fabre

Cin Fabre didn't learn about the stock market growing up, but from her neighborhood and her immigrant parents, she learned how to hustle.

She knew that her hustle was the only way she could help her mother; her only ticket out of poverty and away from her abusive father. Shortly after graduating from high school, she applied her energy to selling overpriced eyewear in an optical store making more in commissions than she'd ever seen.

At only nineteen years old, she pushed herself into brokerage firm VTR Capital, which was run by brokers who'd worked at Stratton Oakmont, where Jordan Belfort had reigned. She was shocked to find an army of young, mostly Black and Brown workers like her sitting at phones.

In Wolf Hustle the author examines her years spent trading frantically - and hustling successfully - Fabre grapples with what is most meaningful in life, ultimately beating Wall Street at its own game.
