History of Black Money: White Power vs Black Wealth
VenusOpal.com
Sis, did you know the most wealthy & powerful era in American history for Black People was right after Emancipation Proclamation?
Real talk.
Up through the early years of Reconstruction, Black land ownership, political representation as well self-funded & employed institutions Black People were crushing it!
Then the government withdraw the military presence in the South & White Supremacy, the KKK & the Black Codes kicked in, & well, you know the story…
My point is this: the key to economic freedom at the level of community is ownership instead of the service provider or “talent.”
The biggest challenge for ANY business venture is start-up capital. Especially if you are a BLACK WOMAN ENTREPRENEUR, INFLUENCER, CONTENT CREATOR, OR CREATIVE.
I have some ideas. 😊 Let’s talk about it.
