August is Black-Owned Business Month. This month is an opportunity to acknowledge, celebrate and support Black-owned businesses in our communities and throughout the country.
Here are a few ways to contribute:
Patronize Black-Owned Businesses: Make a conscious effort to support black-owned businesses by seeking out their products and services. Explore online directories and local business associations to discover and engage with these enterprises.
Spread the Word: Utilize social media platforms and word-of-mouth to promote black-owned businesses you have personally experienced. Share their stories, reviews, and achievements to encourage others to support them as well.
Attend Community Events: Participate in local events, fairs, and markets that showcase black-owned businesses. This not only helps businesses gain exposure but also fosters a sense of community and solidarity.
Collaborate and Partner: If you own a business or work in a relevant industry, consider collaborations or partnerships with black-owned businesses. This can lead to mutually beneficial opportunities and contribute to a more diverse and inclusive business landscape
