See, I'm from the hood and none of my family with the exception of mom didn't really do much with their life relative to their white countrymen and women. The larger point about figuring stuff out on your own sucks to learn.
Your first statement is an understatement. You have to be Gotdamn Clark Kent, Batman, and Iron Man rolled into one with an ungodly amount of access. How do you get access? Figure that shit out.
With that said, everyone with a fast internet connection is in a better position to find those resources today than they were 30 years ago. Yeah, you won't know where to look but dig deep because some of the info is out there. It's finding that OG that knows the real from the fake to guide you that's the hard part.
