This month is National Black Business Month, and t

This month is National Black Business Month, and today we recognize and celebrate the Black-owned businesses across the country! 💙⁠
⁠
Did you know there are over 2 million black-owned businesses in the U.S., most of which are small businesses?⁠
⁠
While there’s been growth in Black-owned businesses over the years, that number is still disproportionate to the 14% of Black Americans that make up this country. This is due to the inequalities and barriers Black business owners face that hinder their ability to gain access to capital and opportunities to build wealth. ⁠
⁠
When we celebrate the contributions of Black business owners, we are celebrating not only their business but the legacy they are creating for future generations. For many Black business owners, their business is vital to the specific needs of the community. So when you support, you are making an impact beyond dollars. You are helping to change the lives of others. ⁠
⁠
Independent businesses are the backbone of our communities. By supporting a Black-owned business, whether making a purchase or giving a shoutout, you are helping stimulate the economy, close the racial wealth gap, and support someone's dream.⁠
⁠
Supporting independent businesses matters, and here at HoneyBook | Rising Tide, we are committed to increasing awareness and promoting inclusion and equity for Black business owners. All of us deserve to have space for empowerment and growth. ⁠
⁠
If you are looking for ways to support Black business owners this month and all year round, check out the hashtags #NationalBlackBusinessMonth #ShopBlackOwned #BlackMakers #SupportBlackBusiness #BlackOwned to find businesses to engage with and support.⁠
⁠

⁠
While most clients understand the value of your products and services and are happy to pay for your expertise, there are times when you'll encounter a client that asks for a discount.⁠
⁠
These situations can be uncomfortable and frustrating, but there are ways to navigate these conversations before choosing to skip out on a project.⁠
⁠
We want to ensure you get paid what you deserve (because, after all, you don't owe affordability), so we're sharing a foolproof method to use the next time a client says you're not in their budget. Visit the link in our bio to learn more!⁠

She sings to the camera as a caption on the video reads, "Let's normalize respecting small business's pricing (that doesn't mean you have to shop there). Small businesses owe you quality. We owe you our best. We don't owe you affordability."]⁠
