Strategic Summits for Black Entrepreneurs and Consumers
#BlackBusinessesMatter isn't just a hashtag. We are traveling the country to work with serious entrepreneurs, business owners, consumers and community leaders. At our strategic summits, our team highlights some of the effects in our community, where the causes are stemming from and our approach to resolving these matters in a way that brings collective prosperity and restoration to our communities. Please come out to our lecture series and learn what we view as the "Revolution and Restoration Tour".  Let's make Black Businesses Matter.
Here are some of our community's statistics that #BlackBusinessesMatter movement directly addresses and solve:
  • 93% of black income is spent outside of their community - Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu
  • Less than 3% of small business owners make more than $100,000 annually and less than 1/2 of 1% ever reach $1 million dollars in total revenue - Ron Broussard
  • If current trends continue, one in three black men are expected to spend time in prison at some point in their lives. The Great Recession wiped out twice as much black wealth as it did white, and the raw numbers are even more stark: Post-recession median household wealth for a white family in 2014 was almost $142,000, down from $192,500. The median wealth for black households had fallen to $11,000 from $19,200. There are 1.5 million black men “missing” in America, because they are either dead or in prison. - NY Times

Still trying to figure out if this is worth attending? Consider these!

  • The main reason most black-owned business struggle is because our culture has many black entrepreneurs pursuing entrepreneurship as a last resort. The well-talented and well-educated blacks seek jobs at prestigious firms, leaving many black-owned businesses under the leadership of less prepared entrepreneurs and a less prepared staff.
  • The 2 major reasons blacks struggle with wealth is felony conviction and no high school diploma… Entrepreneurship becomes the last option for these persons. But can they do it right?
  • Most colleges do not create self-starting entrepreneurs or business owners
  • Entrepreneurs create wealth 7 times faster than college graduates
  • Proper entrepreneurship awareness will reduce crime rates in the black community
  • There is only 1 black billionaire under 40 years of age with another 66 non-blacks under 40! Why is this?
My aim is help bring black community commerce to such sustainability that we no longer have to say "Support Black Businesses".

​Here are some statistics to help you gather your thoughts:

  • Statistics show that blacks are underpaid on average by 30% in the workplace
  • 86% of all black-related crime are economically driven
  • The most successful black bank generates $84 million annually. The most successful Asian bank generates $30 billion annually.
  • The majority of black churches bank with non-black banks
  • Black owned businesses only make up 7% of all U.S firms and less than a ½ percent of all U.S business receipts.
  • 26.4 million adult blacks in America produce $135 million in gross business receipts. 10 million adult Asians produce $506 million in gross business receipts.

We Understand!

We understand your skepticism. There are so many "pop-up" movements coming out of our communities that fall flat with no solid plan and/or strategy. That's why we have no problem showing you the results we've already made for businesses, black entrepreneurs, and our movements. Our success comes because we know strategy. We make things happen! We fly below the radar. You support yourself when you support this movement. Connect with us you will begin to see change in your business and community!

Check out our work here:

Why this is an effective movement:

  • We help entrepreneurs overcome race-based business barriers
  • We focus on self-reliance and infrastructure
  • We are strategic in connecting and leveraging resources

​Join our EveryDollarCounts Campaign here

Here’s the workforce plan:

​We want to build 1 million strong black businesses in America. That will lead to roughly 3 million to 10 million solid jobs for our community
We focus our efforts on black entrepreneurs and business assistance while considering the cultural obstacles that affect the striving black entrepreneur.
  • Blacks have the highest unemployment, illiteracy and incarceration rates
  • Blacks have the highest loan denial rate from traditional banks
  • Blacks pay higher interest rates on mortgages than non-blacks
  • Insurance rates in the black community (health, car, business) are among the highest
If we gather, learn and execute, we can circulate our monies and leverage our resources into becoming a competitive and sustainable community like many other non-black communities!
  • PhD graduates make up the minority of billionaires
  • ½ of 1% of minority firms get Silicon Valley Venture Capital Funding 

​Black business ownership is not just a good idea, it is a MUST and our fiduciary duty.

THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! YOU MUST BE THERE READY TO MOBILIZE TOWARDS BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS!

So if you’re tired of movements that go nowhere. If you’re tired of collective strategies that don’t work. So if you’re tired of not getting the right information for successful entrepreneurship. So if you’re tired of race being left out of the needs of black entrepreneurs, register for the next session now!
