-[Mr Jolly] holds nothing back in relating the story of his personal and professional life in Jamaica and here in Canada.- -- Pride News
-A fast-paced recounting of an eventful life.--- Toronto Star
-As a kid growing up in the GTA, and as a huge Hip Hop and R&B fan, I was introduced to Hip Hop and R&B music by FLOW 93.5. All Urban music lovers in Toronto should feel an indebtedness to its founder, Denham Jolly. To hear Drake, Kardinal, or even Jay Z on a consistent basis, you had to listen to FLOW 93.5. This book gives you great insight into his story and should inspire young people to pursue their dreams no matter what the challenges.- -- Andre De Grasse, three-time 2016 Olympic medalist
-Denham introduced the first Black owned and operated radio station in Canada's history, and, in doing so, brought Urban music to Canada for the first time, introducing successful Canadian Urban artists like Drake, Kardinal Offishal, Jully Black, K-OS, K'naan, Swollen Members, Choclair, and many more to commercial airwaves. He is a recognized philanthropist and a visionary leader who possesses an uncanny balance of social, fiduciary, and political imperatives. On a personal note, he has impacted my life greatly as a mentor, friend and role model.- -- Farley Flex, Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award Recipient, National UNICEF Ambassador, B'nai Brith Canada Special Advisory Council League of Human Rights, and BBPA Harry Jerome Award Recipient for Entertainment & Community
-The memoir of Denham Jolly, In the Black, is a very important book; it's well written and a must read for anyone interested in a more just society.- -- Honourable R. Roy McMurtry, OC, O. Ont., QC LSM, Former Chief Justice of Ontario
-Read this dynamic history of a leader who has given much to the development of Canada's Black Community. We have made progress as Black Canadians because of the activism and advocacy of this giant of a man. Read his interesting life journey and his determination to give voice to the issues of the day. Denham Jolly has shown that with hard work, determination, and a readiness to 'buck the system' -- to stand up for and with the community on social issues and injustice -- one can accomplish much. This story of his life and his accomplishments is a must read for all who engage with their communities.- -- Honourable Jean Augustine, PC, CM, CBE, Former Deputy Speaker Canadian House of Commons
-In the Black is a must-read. In the face of one closed door after another, Jolly's perseverance against the odds is fascinating to observe. In the Black isn't just a broadcasting story, but also one of struggle, of the strength of the human spirit, and of ambitions realized. This book should be required reading for business schools, or for anyone with entrepreneurial aspirations.- --Gary Slaight, CM, President and Chief Executive Officer Slaight Communications Inc.
