Black Privilege Inc

Black Privilege is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect and educate the black community through economic gardening and sustainable technological platforms. Black owned businesses are the greatest private employer of black people-- but they currently receive only 2% of the $1 trillion of black buying power. This means that 98% of that $1 trillion is spent on non-black businesses-- which seldom invest in or hire from the black community. If black consumers spent merely 10% more of their income with black businesses, it would generate nearly two million jobs for African Americans. The foundation of Black Privilege is our innovative mobile app technology. This platform will connect black owned businesses directly to the black community while creating an environment for users to exchange knowledge, ideas and job opportunities. Our goal is to foster a marketplace where black businesses are able to compete at the highest standard. We provide free tools, complimentary assessment tests for business owners, and help identify gaps in the community, encouraging aspiring business owners to fill them in. This will be a platform of Love, Support and Opportunity! By fostering economic prosperity within black communities, we're putting to rest the destructive cycle of unemployment, poverty, crime, imprisonment, and lack of educational resources-- and replacing it with opportunities, resources, jobs, family values, and safer environments for children to succeed. We're here to remind the African American community that they inherently hold the key to their own fates, and can collectively transform from reactionary to proactive, strengthening their communities, families, and achieving the kind of economic prosperity that leads to freedom.
