    Black Barber Shop

    By now, you know our main goal is to help keep improve our community through creating a medium for consumers to find black businesses and keep money circulating throughout the black community. Behind that community issue is an smaller problem that we are solving. The problem is that it's hard to find certain types of businesses that are catered to black people - one example is a barber shop. This problem was made very evident to me after a discussing I Am Black Business with a new co-worker. My co-worker mentioned that he was out of town and needed to find a barber shop. His search was made difficult because none of the major search engines were able to quickly find a black barber shop. Many of the reputable barbershops are not publicly listed; their patrons are locals and new customers are introduced via word-of-mouth advertising. Unfortunately, the internet savvy consumer is limited to the businesses that can be found through online directories or mobile applications.

    I Am Black Business is primed to be your #1 source for finding reputable black owned businesses that provide tailored services and products for the black community. We are still hard at work developing the initial site. Currently, we're in the middle of testing out proximity search which will help you tremendously when finding local businesses or while traveling. Stay tuned as we continue to get closer to the launch of our website.
