~ Celebrate National Black Business Month ~

There are a hundred markets where just two percent of African-American income can generate 500 new jobs at black-owned businesses, according to the National Black Business Month website, being observed for it’s seventh year this month. Black entrepreneurs have been hit hardest in the recession and need our patronage. For every $40,000 in new spending, an entrepreneur has the resources to create at least one new job.

As a community we must return to a spirit of activism and self reliance with concentrated and direct efforts. Let’s take the lead to create the environment and demand the support of Black-owned businesses by consumers, educators, religious leaders and others during the 31 days of August and beyond!

I thank you for your continued patronage and support of Jane Carter Solution.

31 Days and Beyond,
