Celebrating Black biz

August is National Black Business Month.

 

What does that mean for you? Do you patron Black businesses more than usual? Does it mean looking up the history of historic Black businesses, like the Black Classic Press? Is it as simple as a share or a follow to amplify the voice of a Black entrepreneur?

 

One more option: CLLCTIVLY is hosting the We Give Black Fest this weekend to honor the month. Check out the story below. Then, let us know if and how you celebrate National Black Business Month by replying to this email or sending a note to baltimore@technical.ly, any time.
