The Black Dollar, for too long has virtually disappeared from providing stability within the Black community. It has left the base of our economic infrastructure, fractured and weakened. The impact of theses losses has eroded our small businesses, healthcare and education system, with judicial policies and high unemployment, which threatened our political power and ripped families apart. This website is designed to speak to the SOLUTION, rather than the problem.
We are extremely pleased to present to you Connect2Black. It is a Black Business Directory, Travel Aid and Resource Guide mobile app, for and about Black owned businesses. It has a multiplex user-friendly platform for all mobile devices. It is designed to connect conscientious Black people with other like-minded people doing positive progressive things within Black Commerce, Culture and Community. Our primary focus is on the bold act of recognizing and understanding the responsibility we have to our family and community to buy Black. Thus the frequent use of this app as a way of life can help strengthen the sustainability of Black wealth.
Initially, launching in New Orleans, and subsequently outreaching in other major cities. Our primary objective is to reach millions of users wanting to do their part to celebrate the resources and talents found in the Black community, while expanding the wealth and securing a place at the economic table. This will be achieved through the implementation of our robust mobile online infrastructure that takes you right to the source of good qualified Black Owned businesses, cultural activities and safe communities.
