MY CULTURAL BIRTHRIGHTS AND OTHER BLACK GOLD is about two experiences: my elusive career and my rather interesting, personal life story. Over the years those who know me have told me repeatedly that I have had an exciting life and that I should tell my story. I hope that there is something in these words that can inspire someone to become better in their life journey, by reading my life examples of the good and bad experiences and knowing some of the facts that are seldom talked about in the hair, health and beauty industry, an industry that has made so many people wealthy and an industry that I have personally spent most of my life working in and enjoying. MY CULTURAL BIRTHRIGHTS AND OTHER BLACK GOLD also tells the story of my blessed life that has taken me to so many places, met many incredible people like First Lady Michelle Obama, President Nelson Mandela or Muhammad Ali, and allowed me to experience so many things that most people have not seen or would know very little about in a lifetime. It has been an incredible ride. And I thank God for allowing me to take this journey and share my feelings of love and pride for my family, loved ones, and friends.

In acknowledging the rich and diverse history of the City of Chicago, as well as the great accomplishments of its founder, (Friends of DuSable & Chicago Commission on Human Relations) was responsible for establishing a citywide commemoration in honor of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable. Because of the social activism by Haroon Rashid, the now implementations of the DuSable Commemoration not only serves as a day to honor DuSable, it is a vehicle to bring communities together for a day of unity in celebration on March 4th each year centered on the origin of the great city of Chicago that they all share. Haroon Rashid was introduced to the hair and beauty industry at the age of 15, working as a salon assistant in his Uncle John S. Jones barbershop in Boston, MA. It was at Sportsman Barbershop, that he began his interaction with hair care professionals and clients. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. During the last year of his four-year stint, Haroon became the base barber at McAlister Naval I Ammunition Depot in McAlister Oklahoma as an off duty assignment. That experience exposed him to the multi-cultural and diverse aspect of hair care service. By the age of 22, Haroon had completed Wilfred Beauty College and Vaughn Barber School, in Boston, MA. As you can see, major emphasis was placed on the hair business, well before any formal education began.
