I Am Black Business is proud to serve as a partner and sponsor The Urban League of Greater Atlanta Young Professionals (ULGA-YP) Small Business Week. This gives both ULGA-YP and IABB the opportunity to highlight multiple black-owned businesses in and around the metro Atlanta area.

The Village Market Atl was created after Dr. Key Hallmon began hosting monthly master classes on entrepreneurship and community development. It is a quarterly open invitation for the community to come together and collectively radiate, enjoy the arts, network, eat locally sourced foods, and simply enjoy an event that is fueled by the essence of our village.

Thanks to Rick Ross, the #buyblack movement is being promoted by some of the biggest names in rap. His recent single "Buy Back The Block" is a powerful song about black economic empowerment.

We applaud Brian for his work with PurchaseBlack, and we appreciate the time, energy, and money he contributed to the cause.

During this time of year, we encourage everyone to consider black owned businesses for some or all of your Christmas shopping. We realize, that it may be new to some of you. Check out this post on a few ways to make your transition to buying black a little easier.
