THE PERSONALITY OF BARACK OBAMA A CASE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN QUEBEC?
[This article was written shortly after Barack Obama's election. It is translated into English by the editress-in-Chief Patricia Turnier. This is one of the most read articles by Internet users of our Canadian trilingual webmag]. On the evening of Barack Obama's election as the 44th President of the United States of America, friends called me to congratulate me on the brilliant victory of this Harvard graduate who focused his campaign on the theme of change. More than a symbol, this victory became the beginning of a new era of awareness among young Blacks around the world: since a Black man was elected to lead a global superpower, in a predominantly White country with a non-glorious slavery past, everything is now possible for the Black community everywhere on the planet.
NO BOOTSTRAPS: BOOK REVIEW
his great book was published by Random House Canada. It should be translated into other languages such as French and Spanish. The author, Wes Hall, is a dragon investor for the popular Canadian show Dragon’s Den (two of the dragons are also part the hit American TV show Shark Tank starring Kevin O’Leary and Robert Herjavec). Hall is the executive chairman and founder of Kingsdale Advisors. He played crucial roles for multi-million and billion-dollar transactions by major companies like Air Canada, Citygroup, Petro Canada, etc. This very moving and candid autobiography speaks for many people: immigrants, those who suffered from child abuse by a parent, those who overcame poverty thanks to education and a positive outlook of life in spite of hurdles. Hence, the author shares his personal and professional journey.

WHAT MADE OPRAH SUCCESSFUL
PROFESSIONALLY
Given that Oprah became the richest Black woman on the planet (she is also the American who turned out to be the richest on her own), it is worth paying attention to the various factors that allowed her to achieve professional success:
- Walter Bagehot stated that one of life's greatest pleasures is doing what people believe can't be done; it wouldn't be surprising if Oprah shares the same philosophy. - Oprah has a great work ethic. She doesn't accomplish anything on a mediocre level; she strives for excellence in everything she undertakes.
