Black Buying Power 


Let's face it - African Americans spend billions of dollars each year, but our buying power is not reflected in our: businesses, communities or lifestyles.

Statistically speaking, of the $921 Billion we were projected to spend this year, studies show only five cents of each dollar was spent with black-owned businesses.

So, what do we spend our money on? According to Selig Center for Economic Growth, we spend our money on: phone services, utilities, apparel, footwear and groceries.

To turn our buying power into wealth, we must change our buying habits. To build wealth, we must purchase things like land, stocks, etc. Make a conscious choice to build wealth and support a black-owned business TODAY.
