We are shifting our focus to Black Business Month.
We will kick the Month off with Blackout Day on August 2. Black Business Month is a celebration to support, acknowledge, and appreciate black-owned businesses and all they represent in the country’s continual striving for inclusion: diversity and equality.
Although Black Business Month is a special time for acknowledging and supporting Black-owned businesses, we should support these businesses throughout the year.
