The unwavering spirit of #entrepreneurship lies at the heart of every thriving community. Grameen America, Inc. has been a beacon of hope and opportunity, providing microloans, financial training and support to thousands of women across the U.S., enabling them to turn their entrepreneurial dreams into reality. The impact of Grameen America has been profound, particularly within the Black community. By empowering Black women entrepreneurs, Grameen America is not only fueling individual success, they are also fostering economic growth and community resilience. These entrepreneurs are creating jobs, building businesses and inspiring #future generations to follow in their footsteps. I am proud that Southern Communities Initiative (SCI) has been instrumental in this effort. By partnering with Grameen America, SCI has provided critical support and resources to Black entrepreneurs in the Southern U.S., where economic disparities are often concentrated. Together, we have opened new doors of #opportunity, ensuring that financial inclusivity becomes a reality for all. One of Grameen’s most significant milestones was opening its first location in Atlanta, GA, which has since provided vital resources to a region brimming with untapped potential. Since opening last year, this branch has already served over 290 Black women entrepreneurs and has provided over 390 loans through the Elevating Black Women Entrepreneurs Initiative. What’s most exciting is that this initiative is not just about providing financial support — but also about equipping entrepreneurs with the resources and tools they need to be successful. Let’s continue to support and uplift entrepreneurs. Read more. https://bit.ly/3XF7cGi #Entrepreneurship #FinancialInclusion #CommunityEmpowerment

I see these guys talk significantly about how these organizations have affected black this and black that, but am I the only one who hasn't seen the impact? Maybe it's a select market of black people in a certain area? As someone who's resided in a number of places while in the military, I haven't seen any of these wealthy blacks do much for anyone not in their tax bracket.
