Economic Club Chairman David Rubenstein interviewed Sheila Johnson, Author of "Walk Through Fire" and Founder and CEO of the Salamander Collection - a leading hospitality organization.
"Walk Through Fire" is a uniquely American success story. From humble beginnings, Sheila Johnson rose to become one of the most accomplished businesswomen in America and the first African American female billionaire. She co-founded Black Entertainment Television and is the only African American woman to have ownership in three professional sports teams: the Washington Capitals, the Washington Wizards, and the Washington Mystics.
