I found this post at the Electronic Village and wanted to share because it shows us the importance of supporting black-owned businesses. This is a topic close to my heart because I think we underestimate our spending power and how we could use it to cause change in the community. We see the facts and numbers all the time, but when have we ever put it to the test. We have more disposable income than ever, so lets spend some of it on products and services from black businesses.

In episode 32 of the podcast, I mention the show I put together for JW’s Kwanzaa episode. In it, I cover the topic of Ujamaa and how we can extend our reach to other communities (and countries) in supporting black businesses. Together we can make a difference, so check out the Villager’s post and leave a comment.
