From the founder of Atlanta's thriving Village Market comes an inspirational guide for entrepreneurs and leaders, showcasing the transformative power of community support to overcome systemic barriers to business success.

No One Is Self-Made is an inspirational business narrative weaving together themes of community, building purposeful and impactful businesses, collective economics, and debunking the myth of being self-made. Entrepreneurs at any stage of growth will appreciate Dr. Hallmon's story--with all the ups and downs--of founding the Village Market, and the road-tested advice she dispenses for those trying to find success in business. She explains the economic and social factors at play, the surprising missteps that can detour one away from achieving goals and outlines the tools necessary for entrepreneurs to create their own thriving village. Along the way, it becomes clear why working within community is a more powerful, successful path to success than going at it alone.

Dr. Lakeysha "Key" Hallmon has transformed the lives of thousands of Black entrepreneurs across the world through her flagship brand The Village Market, and sister organizations The Village Retail, a storefront featuring premier Black-owned brands and nonprofit Our Village United, which revitalizes small businesses by providing funding and technical services. Her love of community, paired with her mantra, Support Is a Verb, inspires Black entrepreneurs everywhere and the communities who support them with intention. As an award-winning expert in education and business development, Hallmon's innovative village model has become highly sought-after and has facilitated 8.3 million dollars in sales to Black businesses.
