Wolf Hustle
Wolf Hustle: A Black Woman on Wall Street | Cin Fabré
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
From the South Bronx projects to the boardroom—at only nineteen years old, Cin Fabré ran with the wolves of Wall Street. Growing up, Cin Fabré didn’t know anything about the stock market. But she learned how to hustle from her immigrant parents, saving money so that one day she could escape her abusive father and poverty in the Bronx. Through a tip from a friend, Cin pushed her way into brokerage firm VTR Capital—an offshoot of Stratton Oakmont, the company where the Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort, had reigned. She was shocked to find an army of young workers, mostly Black and Brown, with no real prospects for promotion sitting at phones doing the drudge work of finding investment leads for white male brokers. But she felt the pull of profit and knew she would do whatever she had to do to be successful. Pulling back the curtain on the inequities she and so many others faced, Wolf Hustle reveals how Cin worked grueling hours, ascending from cold caller to stockbroker, becoming the only Black woman to do so at her firm. She also discloses the excesses she took part in on 1990s Wall Street—the strip clubs, the Hamptons parties, the Gucci shopping sprees—while reveling in the thrill of making money. From landing clients worth hundreds of millions to gaining, losing, then gaining back fortunes in seconds, Cin examines her years spent trading frantically and hustling successfully, grappling with what it takes to build a rich life, and, ultimately, beating Wall Street at its own game.

A rags to riches story with a good dose of humor, hustle, chutzpah and infinite audacity! Cin Fabre shares her turbulent childhood to her triumphant adulthood but don‘t expect a straight road forward! I enjoyed this spunky memoir but still would suggest #BorrowNotBuy #52Books23 #MacmillanPublishing

#BlackHistoryMonth Loving this memoir about a daughter of #Haitian immigrants who was born into poverty but had an abundance of street smarts. A natural hustler, Cin was always scheming and scamming finding creative ways to earn money. Deciding college was an expense she couldn‘t afford, Cin chooses to apply for a job on Wall Street as a cold caller. Think a female Jordan Belfort ðŸº
