Suzanne Shank is a $2 Trillion dollar businesswoman and is unarguably one of the most powerful women on Wall Street. Shank’s story is a fascinating one and shows how talent, hard work, and the ability to embrace change can have remarkable outcomes.
She's broken through the glass ceiling that holds women back, especially Black women and she has gone on to be chairwoman and CEO of Siebert Cisneros Shank & Company. Under her watch and from her offices in Detroit, her firm has grown tremendously by arranging billions upon billions in financing for airports, roads, schools, and other municipal & corporate projects across the nation. Her determination shows us that no matter what barrier are in front of you, you can break through them. This powerful, black woman is one to remember as her trailblazing ways will continue to inspire and nurture more and more great minds in the African American community.

[@bruceholmes5252]

She should run for president of the United States.

[@BlackExcellist]

She seems to like to keep a low profile. I was telling another commenter that I would at least like to see her in Biden’s Cabinet in 2021 😉

[@bruceholmes5252]

Nah, I think she'll make a excellent president.

[@WealthbuilderzTV]

I never heard of her before. Thanks for the insight. This is the type of things that will keep us motivated more then just those basic motivational videos.

[@morningsunshine0216]

Wealthbuilderz TV I like the motivational videos too

[@BlackExcellist]

gjoexoxo - To your point, our inventory of videos will always offer an array of information and motivation. We don’t have to be nor intend to be exclusive to one versus another.

[@williepurdom9253]

This is one of those women the media don't talk about....We need our own media. This video is great by the way, and so is the lady of subject.

[@BlackExcellist]

Willie Purdom - You are exactly right in stating we need our own media. And that’s the main mission of this channel. With you guys’ support, we are leveraging KZbin to proactively change the narrative and the African American Brand. Stay tuned! ✊🏽

[@michellefonville5326]

[@2121MAW]

I just started my career as a day trader and 40 years old this woman gives me a lot of inspiration especially with me having a disability and it's hard to find gainful employment but I won't give up I hope to meet her one day

Koraun I don't know how you got that from watching this video. This women has a husband and children and her husband works alongside her. I hope its not that her achievements intimidate you. Up brother.

Axel Foil why should they 'see' their communities? To go there and 'help'. Some people simply need to leave their community and gain other perspectives on living. Blessup

[@MortonWaughMegistaSolutions]

Axel Foil don't you see how much mentoring she is involved in to help people with their 'come up'. Blessup

[@RealestDave]

Just another video stating the the color of your skin or your looks can't stop you from succeeding I mean look at Will Smith, Samuel Jackson, Michael Jordan, Kevin Hart, Barrack Obama. Nothing stopped them from earning millions and being highly influential The only thing that can stop you from being incredible is your own mind!

That's a very Good Thing !

[@DreadMike73]

In spite of her not being in Forbes of being the richest, goes to show that once you know how money work and having a mentor this is the results, good that she didn't forget about her people, we need black women like her to mentor to the black youth and show them they don't have to do things they don't want to do, commit crimes, play sports, etc. and there is other options. It's not too many black people in finance and people that look like them that's teaching it and mentoring it in the urban and rural areas. She's an example of black woman magic.

[@shakaama]

she is in Forbes. do you read Forbes?

[@BlackExcellist]

We appreciate you. But thank you for your support!

[@fender1000100]

That's why black people need THEIR OWN MEDIA. To hear about truly inspirational people like this. And not just WHO THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW. So a young black man and woman doesnt think MUSIC AND SPORTS are the only categories in life they can shine in. They can shine doing ANYTHING THEY PUT THEIR MIND TO. They just have to REALIZE THAT.

She wouldn't be the most powerful because she helped Xerox and not her own company.

[@robertleejameswelch8383]

@@YoungDen I have to disagree. The company was on the verge of failure. A multibillion dollar company that is decades old was saved because of her. Because of that, shes one of the most respected women in the world and people pay big money to her her speak.

She's amazing, especially since she has two children, while doing all of this, especially because she can pass her wealth down to her children, because a lot of times successful people are too busy working to have anybody to pass it down to once they're gone.
