FINDING A BLACK-OWNED BUSINESS IN YOUR HOME COMMUNITY
You are welcome to spend your $10 at a business near your home, or wherever you may be traveling in the next couple of weeks. A good place to start is online at your local African American Chamber of Commerce. Asking around is another good way to find black-owned businesses.
In either case, you must ascertain that the business is black-owned. The owner of the business identifies it as such.
STEP 2

Please include at least one image of the product or service by itself, with no people in it.
