Happy Friday! It's a beautiful day to open a Black-owned and operated bank! 🏦
"When people #BankBlack the result is better circulation of Black dollars with Black businesses, the creation of more jobs for the Black community, more access to affordable home loans, education for urban communities on financial literacy, and most importantly, the power of the Black dollar is increased. When focused on improving our neighborhoods, communities, and supporting other Black owned businesses, those dollars become a powerful voice. A voice we so desperately need today". - OneUnited Bank
"Buying black” and “banking black” are two essential pieces to see a brighter economic future for Black America." - banks.com
We are inspired by Because of Them We Can by Eunique Jones BHM Challenge and the #bankblack movement.
