“The Agenda; Blacks must be economically empowered”
(Milligan).
The purpose of this blog is to support Black Owned
Businesses, to encourage the black community and to lastly, but mainly,
advertise and discuss Black ownership. According to Dr. Rosie Milligan, “Black
youth will have a brighter future if they are encouraged to prepare for a
successful business future. We must invest in the youth of today, because they
are our tomorrow” (Milligan).
So I believe
that it is very vital to share our appreciation for the many black owned
businesses and to encourage the up and coming black owned businesses. “Blacks
need to see people who look like them achieving great things. If they can
achieve it, you can achieve it. I believe that Black business ownership is the
key out of the mess in which African Americans currently find themselves”
(Milligan). Every week I will post information, advertisements, interviews, and
tips from experts on owning or having a business and photos all from black
entrepreneurs and businesses. Categories consist of Food, Clothing, Beauty,
Health, Housing, Entertainment, etc. I will share my findings with you in hopes
that you will share but also that you will mainly support these Black owned
businesses.
According to Pamela Frugé “The economic empowerment of
African-Americans in this country, and for any group of people
anywhere, speaks to the ultimate ability to build prosperous
communities. As we face our current economic crisis, it is critical for
all of us to look at ourselves and make improvements and prepare for a
better future today.”
As Dr. Rosie Milligan says, “I believe that black ownership
is the key…” So if you know of any black owned businesses or have one of your
own and would like to be placed on this blog, please contact me at

business.
