Cheryl McKissack Daniel Joins The Breakfast Club: A Conversation on Legacy, Black Solidarity, & Family History

Cheryl McKissack Daniel, President and CEO of McKissack & McKissack, recently appeared on the wildly popular Breakfast Club show—home to over 5 million YouTube subscribers—for a powerful and candid conversation about her new book, The Black Family Who Built America, the importance of Black solidarity, and her extraordinary five-generation family legacy.

Why It Matters

This feature on The Breakfast Club amplifies vital themes:

  • Intergenerational wisdom: Passing down more than structures—values, identity, purpose.

  • Representation: A Black woman leading and innovating in architecture and construction.

  • Equity and access: Demonstrating how solidarity and strategic decisions open doors where they’ve previously been shut.
