August is Black Business Month, a special time to amplify Black brands, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and more. The history of Black Business Month stems from 2004 when 2 men collaborated to “drive the policy agenda affecting the 2.6 million African-American businesses,” in order to highlight and empower Black business owners all over, especially given the unique challenges faced by minority business owners (National Today).
