If it Wasn't for Willie: The Life of William Brewington - A Harlem Legend - Paperback

by Tanya Brewington (Author)

This story is about the man who had the Blueprint to Harlem. He always knew how to hustle and make money. If he had been born talking, he would have emerged from the womb trying to make a business deal with the doctor who delivered him! Entrepreneurship was in his blood. He just needed to find ways to express it; and he found many. He was always open to a new business idea even though he had his hands full with the ones he was running.

He was a father, a hustler, mentor, business owner, and confidante to many people who knew and loved him. When he died, the news of his passing reverberated through the streets of Harlem, that famed New York neighborhood nestled in Upper Manhattan. What better person to tell his story than his own daughter.

This account of Willie's life is so stirring, so utterly moving, the pages turn themselves. His story is raw but true, giving you the beginning and the end, the good and the bad, so you will understand her father, as she knew him. Being an entrepreneur was like a disease for which there was no cure. Even if there were, her father would have rejected it summarily. He loved being busy and had a knack for making his businesses grow and become legendary and famous. He was the Godfather of Harlem! The mastermind behind the best burgers and much more. An intelligent gangsta, he was all about business as usual.
