Dana Frank's story begins in 1950 with her father, Gerald Frank, a determined Black man who arrived in Seattle at 18. Escaping Detroit's violence and Jim Crow laws, Gerald brought his dreams and drumsticks, laying the foundation for a real estate empire that continues to thrive under the Frank family's third generation.
Get Up & Get On It vividly depicts the hurdles faced by the Frank family. Dana confronted racial barriers and unconventional business choices made by her father.

Their story is one of fortitude, perseverance, and hard work. As a single mother and entrepreneur, Dana leveraged her network and envisioned a brighter future for her family and other marginalized people.
