I Thought I was Done with This is a book by a German-born black entrepreneur who came to New York only to rediscover a topic he thought he had long since left behind: racism. Maurice Hofmann, son of a single mother, learned early that fighting his fights would be the only way to succeed in life. He also took this unique experience and used it to thrive in life – both personally and professionally.
In I Thought I was Done with This, Maurice looks at his experiences and path through life, seeking a way forward for the Black community in the United States – a place he became a part of when moving to New York in 2010. Experiencing racism that can only be compared to the 1960s and 1970s, he looks for resolutions from within the Black community and how internal support will empower a more prosperous and emancipated future for Black people in the USA.
I Thought I was Done with This covers a wide range of topics, starting with Maurice’s own personal life experiences describing how he became successful in his job earning six figures in a predominantly white industry. He further details how education for Black youth is just as important as gaining a deeper understanding of American society and how Black youth can navigate it by offering resources to help us educate ourselves.
