Trotman is CEO of Electro Soft, the black-owned electronics manufacturing firm founded by her parents. She shares what she has learned about building a thriving business where she has had the opportunity to offer livable wages, introduce career opportunities for those without a college degree, and break barriers for women and minority entrepreneurs — while building generational wealth. She also offers insights to how government policies can support the manufacturing sector and bring it back to American shores. If you’re concerned about America’s future, this is must-read.
