Eboni K. Williams
Journalist, attorney, and star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York reshapes the cultural landscape of achievement by showing why Black unity is crucial to individual and collective success.
When The Real Housewives of New York City hired its first black cast member after more than 13 years on the air, attorney, speaker, and journalist Eboni K. Williams knew that the public would consider her a diversity hire. But instead of accepting the label, Williams re-envisioned her role as a “Diversity Higher,” an opportunity to prove the significance of Black excellence in the workspace and in society at-large. In Bet on Black, she shares all the benefits and advantages that have helped her and many others historically reach great heights in their careers and beyond.
Williams declares that Blackness is her superpower toward success, and shows how it’s been instrumental for achieving her dreams. She takes us on a journey through an extraordinary life growing up in the South with a single mother, being a pageant girl, attending law school in Louisiana, working as a litigator, reporting for Fox News, and becoming an influential voice in today’s media landscape. Her writing is at turns entertaining, relatable, and incredibly inspiring; after finishing this book, listeners will be reawakened to own their worth and understand the value of celebrating Blackness (whether theirs or others). Empowering others to maximize their potential with zero apologies is her life’s work as well as her lifestyle, she says, “No longer can we settle on just asking that Black people be comfortable. We can do better than settle for surviving, we can achieve never-ending thriving!”
As Williams says in her RHONY tagline, “I’ve had to work twice as hard for half as much, but now I’m coming for everything.” And in Bet on Black, Williams invites her listeners to join her on the quest to show the world what Black excellence really means.

Eboni has managed to show us how black pride was instilled within her from a very young age by black women that had navigated *the system* of White Supremacy. In that upbringing she was blessed with a wonderful perspective that comes together brilliantly in this book. In a sense this has given me a blueprint vibe on how to stand up unabashedly in my blackness. I'm not better than but very proud of who I am as a Black American!
Great read with lots of references to learn more.
Inspired, ready, empowered and on board is how I feel after reading this book.
I would recommend this book to anybody interested in how to stand up with pride of their Black American heritage. Lord knows I've learned to stand up a little taller because of it. Great job Eboni!
Best articulation of Black America and it's plight past & present I've heard in decades!

Eboni K. Williams acknowledges the plight of Black America but encourages Black Americans to choose solutions over victimhood. Let's be clear. Black Americans did not choose to be victims. Eboni K. Williams has agreed on this several times in 'Bet on Black'. However, Black Americans do not have to choose to adopt a victimhood mindset.
