"Four stories of resilience, mutual aid, and radical rebellion that will transform how we understand the Great Depression"--

Amidst familial complexities and racial tensions, Dana Frank has emerged as one of Seattle's most triumphant minority real estate investors. In Get Up and Get On It, Frank captivates readers by taking them through a life full of unique experiences and challenges. Born to parents determined to change the narrative their birth circumstances dictated, one side of Frank's life was full of music and celebrity. Her father was an accomplished drummer who played with some of the most celebrated jazz entertainers, and her uncle is legendary music producer Quincy Jones. The other side of Frank's life was full of conflicting moments of hardship and darkness, having to live under her father's iron fist and observe him engage in unconventional (and ethically questionable) real estate endeavors while also tagging along with him in moments of activism, picketing anti-Black banks and exposing redlining. Dana ultimately made a courageous decision to partner with her mother and break free from her father during an era when Black women faced impossible odds in pursuit of financial independence. Today, there is nothing Dana does not know about being a "Landlady." Get Up and Get On It recounts the invaluable business lessons she has inherited and redefined, transforming them into a source of pride, helping thousands of families secure housing to create their own wealth while building a rich legacy of third-generation wealth for her children.
