By now, we are all familiar with the wealth that is created by the black community.
Some estimate it to be as much as $700 billion, more than the Gross National Product
of many nations in the world. Unfortunately, much of this wealth does not remain in
our communities, allowing capital, jobs, and the independence that comes with financial
viability to leak out of our communities. With the loss of money comes a simultaneous
loss of power.
It is time for a change! The purpose of the BLACK IS GREEN: TALLAHASSEE BLACK BUSINESS
EXPO is to create awareness in our community about the many black-owned businesses that
exist in Tallahassee and surrounding areas. Come and see the products and services that
we can provide for one another. The BLACK IS GREEN EXPO is a step towards educating
ourselves about the true value of a dollar and strengthening the resources within our
own community. In addition, it will provide future black business owners an opportunity
to dialogue and learn from people who are already practicing the craft.
