The Power of Circulating a Dollar
An economic key to uplifting Black communities
There’s no shortage of Black-owned businesses.
From restaurants to digital marketing companies to auto detailing outfits to smoothie shops, dental practices, legal services, and everything in between.
If you’ve never heard of any of these businesses, your city likely has a “Black Pages” or some other resource to point you in the right direction.
Want to find a Black-owned restaurant in Chicago? There’s a list. In Denver, there’s something called “The Little Black Book” that lists categories of Black-owned businesses.
Supportblackowned.com tries to provide national lists in various categories.
Google away, and you’ll find your city’s directories.
Or try posting, “Does anyone know a Black-owned [insert business]?” on your social media page. I bet you’ll get lots of responses.
It’s good for all of us — Black, white and others — to support diverse businesses. So everyone shares in the fruits of this land of opportunity called America.
