Recycle the Black Dollar is an economic call to action for the Black community to Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, and Reclaim the resources in our community.
Our mission is to fortify Black economic power and justice by connecting Black consumers to Black businesses.
Cornerstone Projects:
(1) Annual Blackout Conference
(2) Recycle the Black Dollar Directory for Black-owned businesses
(3) Harriett Tubman $20 Bill Campaign
As a millennial, with a foundation rooted in advocacy for nearly two decades, I am driven by the words of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis, "Our ancestors may have all come here on different ships, but we're in the same boat now."
As an entrepreneur, I believe, it is OUR time to take the helm and steer the ship toward economic justice, community power, and generational wealth. The year 2020 has shifted the economic trajectory in favor of the Black community. This is the moment to reconstruct our history and build the movement for generational wealth, justice, and power.

The recycle symbol is used to illustrate the ecosystem that the Black community can sustain itself beyond measure. It is imperative that the larger community makes strategic decisions to stimulate and utilize resources in the Black community.
