Bonus Question Vision & Purpose (V&P) Community Magazine: As we celebrate National Black Business Month this August, where do you think Black businesses stand today and what can we do to improve the Black dollar worth in our community? Michelle DeMarcia Davis: Yay!!! Happy Black Business Month! Black businesses from my standpoint are still smart, strong, powerful, resourceful, and resilient. As we celebrate, we must keep a growth mindset. Be mindful of how we spend, save, give, and build a strong foundation of financial literacy to improve our Black dollar worth in our community. Especially now more than ever. Black Business Month is when we come together to recognize and support Black businesses and entrepreneurs around the world. Yet, the power of networking keeps us with buying power throughout the year and time. Let’s continue to stay mindful of this, as we support our Black-owned businesses, and in doing so, it will have a positive trickle-down effect on our community.
