The accomplished CEO, investor, and African queen shares the remarkable story behind the Fearless Fund's landmark legal battle while translating a roadmap from civil rights and African independence movements of the 1960s into a modern "playbook" directing entrepreneurs, business leaders, and policymakers toward expanding opportunity and building lasting economic prosperity.
When Arian Simone received news of a federal lawsuit against her and the “Fearless Fund”—her venture capital firm whose most well-known grant funded Black women-owned businesses in need—she was shocked. Not only because the principles on which the fund was established—equity and diversity, especially—were the new cornerstones in a post-George-Floyd-America, but because the plaintiffs, who had just won a Supreme Court case against affirmative action in college admissions—built their argument using the 1866 Civil Rights Act: a law put in place for formerly enslaved persons to enter into contracts the same as whites.
In Fearless Freedom, Arian discusses how everyone—whether you’re a business owner, a politician, an educator, or someone simply navigating their own path in life—has something to gain from creating a more inclusive world. And with lessons imparted by her parents, informed by her top-tier international education, and refined in the flames of political and civil turmoil—Arian expertly delivers a roadmap for the change we know we need and the actions change requires.
In the context of financial freedom for all, fearless action is our greatest tool in dismantling the barriers that hold others back and establishing wealth for future generations.

Foreword by Ben Crump, Afterword by Stacey Abrams. 9.5"x6.5", 279 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. WHEN ARIAN SIMONE FOUNDED THE FEARLESS FUND - the first venture capital fund built by women of color for women of color - she was addressing a persistent inequity in business: access to capital. Then she became the target of a landmark lawsuit. In 2023, a conservative legal organization fresh off a Supreme Court victory against affirmative action sued Simone, arguing that the fund's grant programs violated the Civil Rights Act of 1866 - a law designed to empower formerly enslaved persons. At the center of a national battle over entrepreneurship, economic opportunity, and the future of efforts to expand access for historically overlooked founders, Simone engaged in a public fight that threatened her life's work and legacy. In Fearless Freedom, Simone takes readers behind the headlines and into strategy sessions to preserve the fund, its impact, and similar investment tools. Drawing on her experiences as an entrepreneur, investor, global advocate, and Queen Wa of Dawa Grand Bereby in Côte d'Ivoire, she shares lessons learned growing up in Detroit, at the feet of civil rights icons like Rosa Parks, and from mentors whose advice helped her build her groundbreaking firm and persevere when it came under attack. Beyond her stirring personal narrative and hard-won leadership lessons, Simone also delivers practical "playbooks" for corporations, investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs - vital for understanding how access to capital, economic mobility, and opportunity can strengthen businesses and communities alike. Part memoir and part leadership guide, Fearless Freedom is your blueprint for resilience and road map for creating pathways to growth, innovation, and long-term prosperity.
