Black XChange
iPhone / Economie et entreprise
Black XChange is here to create Systemic change. You cannot fight systemic oppression with individual advancement, the story that most of us have been sold. You can fight systemic oppression with collective, methodical, intentional movement.
The Black XChange Goals:
Black consumers and allies of the Black community can invoke change in Black communities via becoming more aware of where dollars are spent. Consumers can change their spending habits overnight or overtime, a form of investing into the Black community.
Black business owners in turn can take on the responsibility of reinvesting into the community: spend with other Black businesses, provide employment in Black communities, and raise awareness to businesses that might not be practicing these disciplines.
As we move into a paradigm where an individual of the Black community can open a business in their community, offer a legitimate and competitive service, and have the support of the community, we can begin to realize the power of ownership and develop a sense of pride in our communities. The hope is that one day you do not have to move out but want to move into the Black community.
The goal is to not assist a couple of businesses here and there. While that cause is noble and can benefit individuals and businesses on a micro-level it is simply not enough to bring about the macro change for which our community expresses a need.
