I was forwarded information about the Anderson's efforts to support Black Businesses through their Empowerment Experiment. I felt compelled to post this information personally as well as professionally.
Why::
The Reason:: quoted from the Anderson's:
"We created The Empowerment Experiment because we want every child in America, regardless of her race, to feel the security, pride and hope that our girls do. That takes work. That takes love. That takes money. But not the government's money. Our money. Why not the money we spend everyday?"
J.C. Leyendecker "The Bespoke Aficionado's" Position::
This is not just about being Black, or some couples bitterness due to racial economic disparity, its about empowerment in a market where Blacks/African Americans make up a majority of the buying power with nothing to show for it inside our own communities.
Of course there are internal and external factors in the Black/African American communities that are responsible, but this movement is an example of the positive energy that is so often invisible, or hidden from the masses.
Please be sure review their website at:
http://www.eefortomorrow.com and their Facebook page to assist in this movement as much as possible.
Economic prosperity is only one of the tools necessary for the growth and development of any culture. Blacks/African Americans have much further to go before we can catch up. So let's keep the movement going because It has already been proven when others say we can't, we already know "Yes we can".
