The term black brands speaks directly to small or large businesses owned and led by Black Entrepreneurs. A lot of the black brands are brain childs of experiences of the owner or a specific community.
Blacks have always seen the need to lead their own businesses because of the bitter taste of being controlled as far back as the slavery days. Blacks saw the need to firmly grip independence until it became their reality. Though many step out in boldness and are successful this doesn’t erase the presence of discrimination and racial inequality.
