In Business While Black

This year I would like to cancel Black history month. Every year we hear the same stories of heroes from our past & the amazing things we have accomplished. I want to do things different this February. I would like to take all that Black history month energy & direct it to fueling our Black future. If you are unaware of your history, a quick google search or a trip to a local library will answer any question that you may have. I know we can not predict our future but we can steer our present into the traffic flow of a more successful & sustainable future by supporting a Black Owned Business. (BOB)

WHO BENEFITS

Society will tell you to steer clear of BOB’s because of poor customer service, attitude & a lack structure. Its irresponsible to spread this notion! Everyone benefits from supporting a BOB. Customer will receive faster shipping, larger portions & better prices due to less overhead. Just do not shop there expecting a “kin folk discount” knowing you would spend double the amount with a white establish without questioning or batting an eye. Business owners also win because serving new customers grows business, confidence of course generates more revenue.

HOW MANY DID YOU SUPPORT?

Shame on you if you can count on 1 hand how many BOB’s you supported in 2021. So many Black owned companies offer some of the best goods & services available. By following this formulate, we can nurture businesses in our communities & sprout new ones. Take the number of BOB’s you supported last year & multiply that by 3. Then multiply that number by 3 in 2023.

I have supported a nice Black owned online gift shop that sold the cutest nicknacks & Black owned companies that sold chemical free soaps that were great for keeping melanin healthy. I plan on supporting 12 Black owned businesses this year in hope of keeping our hard earned dollars in our communities & creating a massive chain reaction of others following suit.

If you have a BOB or know of someone who does, PLEASE link them in the comment section. I’m dying to try new & unique business that are For Us By Us.
