Meet Tricia and Antoinette Clarke. Best friends. Black women. Hustlers. Boss Ladies. And, as Elle magazine called them: "Power Twins." Here, they inspire readers to hustle harder, shine brighter, and bank more.The Status Quo tries to sell us a set of lies about what it takes to succeed in life. That we need to look a certain way, act a certain way. That we should settle for less, wait our turn, pay our dues. Not to bother chasing that opportunity, or dare to speak up and speak out. Antoinette and Tricia aren''t buying it. Ever since they were girls, Antoinette and Tricia pushed each other to be successful on their own terms. As African-American women, they learned a thing or two about owning their confidence and going high when others go low. As identical twins, they learned the power of true connection, as well as the necessity to individuate. And they learned that to succeed in a world where the deck is stacked against you, you need to ditch the old Status Quo rules. You''ve got to bet on yourself, and you''ve got to cultivate a tribe of people who will bet on you. Today, as high-powered media executives, Antoinette and Tricia are ready to share their wisdom with the next generation of Boss Ladies looking to make their mark. They''ve helped hundreds of women identify their goals, cultivate their confidence, and double down on their superpowers. Now, they want to do the same for you. Packed with their best tips, tricks, and tactics, Double Down will inspire you to hustle harder, soar higher, and bank more.
