We often talk about the importance of shopping at

We often talk about the importance of shopping at Black-owned businesses—but what about shopping for Black-owned businesses? Despite growing interest in economic collaboration, one high-impact strategy remains underutilized: strategic mergers between Black-owned businesses. While major corporations merge to scale and dominate markets, small and medium-sized Black-owned businesses rarely pursue this approach—often due to systemic barriers rather than lack of opportunity. Yet, successful mergers in banking and tech prove that combining forces can unlock growth, competitiveness, and wealth creation. Success Stories:
✅ Banking Power Move: City First Bank & Broadway Financial merged in 2021, creating @cityfirstbroadway the largest Black-led bank in the U.S. with $1B+ in assets. ✅ Tech & AI Innovation: In 2023, @stemulistudios merged Infinity.careers & Oppti, forming a powerhouse in AI-driven education & workforce development. Industries Ripe for Mergers:
💼 Professional Services: Law & accounting firms joining forces to compete for larger corporate clients. 🍽 Food & Beverage: Restaurants & food brands merging to boost visibility & supplier leverage. 💻 Tech Services: IT firms teaming up to win major corporate & government contracts. 💄 Beauty & Retail: Growing Black-owned brands merging for stronger market positioning. 📚 Edtech & AI: The next frontier for Black entrepreneurs to lead through collaboration. Mergers aren’t just for big corporations—they’re a powerful strategy for Black businesses looking to scale, innovate, and build generational wealth. 📲 Read the full article—link in bio! #BlackBusiness #WealthBuilding #BlackExcellence #Entrepreneurship #ShoppeBlack

Target has recently come under fire for its decisions regarding DEI initiatives, sparking important conversations about corporate accountability. While these discussions are necessary, it’s equally important to ensure that the backlash doesn’t inadvertently harm the Black-owned brands that have worked tirelessly to secure a place on Target’s shelves and website. These businesses—many of which are small, independent, and founded by passionate entrepreneurs—deserve our support now more than ever. We’ve curated a list of Black-owned brands available at Target. We encourage you to shop directly from their websites whenever possible. ⭐️ BEAUTY & PERSONAL CARE
