Part of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is being aware of where you shop and who you can help support.
August is National Black Business Month, an event launched in 2004 to support and highlight the tremendous accomplishments of African American entrepreneurs. "Black businesses are critical to the lifeline of our nation's economy," says Ron Busby Sr., president and CEO of U.S. Black Chambers.
With members living from Louisville, KY to Dayton, OH and places in between, IABC Greater Cincinnati is proud to highlight some of the sources that will help you discover the many black-owned businesses.
Shop, eat, drink, or find services specific to your role as a communications professional.
