Spread The Love✨: Supporting Black Owned Businesses✨

 

Hey Curlies,✨



February is finally here! I'm super excited and stir crazy all at the same time😂. My bday month is here, black history month is here, and vday will soon be here! February is also the coldest month of the year so here in the Northeast I can definitely feel it. This month remember to spread the love a little further!💘 Black owned businesses need your support and a little can go a long way. I have three facts about Black owned businesses and three ways you can help support black owned businesses.✨


Three Facts about Black Owned Businesses:
  1. Data from the federal reserve has shown only 16% of black owned businesses receive funding for their business.                                        (SOURCE:https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/business/business-planning/black-women-are-the-fastest-growing-group-of-entrepreneurs-but-the-job-isnt-easy..)
  2. In February 2024 the Census Bureau reported 3.5 million black owned businesses in the United States. 1.2 million employ people from the United States.                                                (SOURCE: https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/business/business-planning/black-women-are-the-fastest-growing-group-of-entrepreneurs-but-the-job-isnt-easy.)
  3. According to JP Morgan, the number of Black Women owned businesses grew 50% from 2014 to 2019. This represented the highest growth rate of any FEMALE demographic. (SOURCE:https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/business/business-planning/black-women-are-the-fastest-growing-group-of-entrepreneurs-but-the-job-isnt-easy.)

Three Ways you can support Black Owned Businesses

  1. Promote! Promoting goes a long way. It opens up a doorway to reach the target audience. This target audience can increase engagements and create new clients. Promoting can be free by sharing a post or saving content in your collection (TikTok). Engagement helps make the business more visible. 
  2. Product Review. If you are an active or previous client understand Black owned Businesses want to hear from you! Your opinion matters and helps the overall growth of the business. Leaving a review lets potential clients know about Black owned Businesses. You're honesty and integrity goes a long way. Natural Divinity Products enjoys your emails, messages, comments, and reviews. This definitely helps my business continue to grow. 
  3. Purchasing. Now I can make things sound optimistic and positive but Black owned Businesses still operate on currency. Currency can come in the form of Angel investing, donating, and purchasing goods or services. Most of the proceeds go to purchasing of new ingredients, restocking products, restoring service areas, and marketing. When you purchase with Natural Divinity Products you are growing the business. Your contributions go towards new product creation and ingredients. I strive to make my business better each year and one of my goals is to seek outside business counseling. My business is my growth baby. I stand firmly on delivering natural hair care products for all hair types.
✨

    I hope you all found this informative. Please note that saying Black owned Businesses is not saying their superior to other businesses. It is acknowledging the blessings and disparities that Black owned Businesses may face. We all can learn from one another and help all businesses grow. I would love to hear from you! I value your feedback. What are some ways you can help Black owned Businesses thrive?

I know there are so many articles about how bad technology is for your mental health. I want to talk about the good and bad. Since my Facebook account was hacked in 2023 I have had less Facebook friends. It has also been nearly impossible to keep track of old clients. This has left a little hardship on me as a business owner and my personal life. The good I have noticed is I have lessen some of my death scrolling and internet use. When I use less technology I noticed my mental health improves. I am able to look more within and understand my emotions. Now let's get into Technology and Mental Health.
