Southeast Queens Scoop Blog - Streetwise Digital News: Get The Scoop On Why Smart Policy, Public Support Is Essential To Black Business To overcome discriminatory lending practices and inadequate financial support, Black business owners have always been innovative and adaptable. They’ve built their own support networks through empowering organizations like the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce (LIAACC) and the African American Small Business Foundation. The success of these organizations is measured by how member businesses increase their revenue, employ more people and bolster the net worth of their enterprises.

🎉 Did you know August is National Black Business Month? Cuz, I just found out. Black Americans represent over 3 Million businesses, generating over $133B in revenue and only receive about 1% of total VC dollars to start our businesses. I ask myself what would happen if all the doors were open? 🚪 What could opening doors for Black folx look like: ✨ connect us to money & opportunities & people that believe in our work ✅ share your talent, network, gifts, and knowledge 💤 help heal some PTSD by encouraging rest 🚪 teach & share everything you know Open doors and watch the revenue & jobs pour in, it can and will be so much easier for all of us if you do. Get to know me/my work here & tell someone I'm here to change the world: https://lnkd.in/e-7ScSS2

Happy Black History Month! I highly recommended checking out #ForTheCultureSTL for the BEST directory of local Black owned businesses! https://lnkd.in/gf4YR2yy Via their website: "We do a lot of talking about supporting black businesses, but provide a number of reasons as to why we can't: I don't know where to go, I didn't know that they were black owned, I don't know where to start. Well, no more. ForTheCultureSTL is intended to connect black people with black owned businesses and events around the city. Whether it's the entertainment industry, a family owned restaurant, a black owned dentist, or a local clothing company, For the Culture STL is here to connect the people to you and you to the people. Our intention is to put black dollars back into the black community and keep them there and build unity in the community. Support the businesses, show up to the events, get to know each other. In order to do this we have to know where to go and what to show up for. If you know of any companies, events, stores, or small businesses that we should be supporting then let us know."

It's National Black Business Month. As a privileged Black business owner, I feel a duty to shed light on this: Black-owned businesses are 9 times more likely to operate without employees than the national average. I knew Black business stats, but thank you Samantha Katz for educating me further on the landscape. Put in that broader perspective, the Black business figures are more alarming and disappointing. Is a business sustainable with no employees? Why don't Black businesses have employees? Can you help Black businesses be successful? If you're interested in learning about my Black-owned business—which I'm extremely fortunate to run with my team—follow the link below. We make sending local eGift cards simple, conveniently enabling gifts that are more thoughtful and impactful: https://2ly.link/1zCVq

In celebration of this Black History Month, we'd like to highlight some local businesses and entrepreneurs that are Black-owned and operated! The first business we'll mention today is Cash Revenue, an editorial and commercial photographer. Make sure to check them out and support their businesses!🤩 👉🏾What Black Owned Business do you love to support? Share in the comments below!
